Wizz Air’s recruitment drive for cabin crew at Gatwick Airport follows its recent major expansion at the airport, having successfully acquired 15 daily slot pairs, which means the airline will base an additional four Airbus A321neo aircraft at Gatwick from spring 2022 onwards.

With this, Wizz Air will launch 18 new routes, to destinations such as the capital of the Algarve, Faro, the luxurious Greek island, Mykonos, and the vibrant city of Larnaca in Cyprus, bringing the total number of seasonal and non-seasonal routes on offer from Gatwick to 25.

Since the opening of its base at Gatwick Airport in October 2020, Wizz Air has offered a wealth of both well-known and emerging destinations for its customers based in London and the South of England, as well as a boost to the local economy by creating local jobs.

Wizz Air is also recruiting for new pilots, who will have the opportunity to operate the airline’s constantly growing fleet of young, modern, and sustainable Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft.

The airline welcomes applications from experienced captains and first officers, as well as those with no flying experience at all. Candidates who are interested can apply online here: https://careers.wizzair.com/go/Pilot-Jobs/5258601/.
