EasyJet has announced plans to recruit more than 450 new pilots.
Positions available range from cadet pilots starting their career to experienced co-pilots from other airlines and direct entry captains.
There is also opportunity for more than 140 of the low cost airline’s current first officers to be promoted to captains.
Of the 450 positions, 400 will be cadet pilots and experienced co-pilots and 50 direct entry captains.
EasyJet said successful applicants will be offered positions across all of easyJet’s 28 European bases and provided access to high quality training and a range of career development opportunities.
Training loan
For new cadets undertaking their training with CTC Aviation, CAE or FTE Jerez, there will be the opportunity to apply for all or part of their training loan (between £30,000 to £100,000) underwritten by the airline.
Following the launch of the Amy Johnson Flying Initiative to help encourage more women to train for a career as a commercial airline pilot, EasyJet plans to see women take up 12% of its new pilot intake over the next two years.
It will underwrite the full training loan of six female new entrant pilots.
Captain Brian Tyrrell, easyJet’s head of flight operations, said:
“We’re really pleased to have opened recruitment for more than 450 new easyJet pilot positions.”
