A LOW-COST airline is ramping up its recruitment in the UK, as it aims to hire more cabin and flight crew for one of Britain's major airports.

Wizz Air is expanding its team at its base at Gatwick Airport, with eight recruitment events being held over the next few months, offering aspiring cabin crew the chance to learn more about the company and apply for positions.

Its recruitment drive comes after its recent expansion at the airport, with the airline set to launch 18 new routes to destinations including Fao, Mykonos and Larnaca in Cyprus.

Managing director of Wizz Air UK Marion Geoffroy said: "The past two years have been an exciting period of expansion for Wizz Air, and we are thrilled to be growing our cabin and flight crew team across the UK, as capacity and demand continue to ramp up ahead of the summer season.

"The launch of new routes at Gatwick reinforces our commitment to the airport and surrounding region, as we continue to create local jobs following the pandemic.

"We look forward to meeting aspiring cabin crew at our recruitment events to learn more about the exciting opportunities we have on offer - if you're looking to meet new friends, discover new places, and take on a new challenge, don't hesitate to apply today."

Recruitment days for the airline are being held at 9am at the Hilton London Gatwick Airport on February 21, February 26 and March 7, as well as at the Hotel Sofitel on March 22, March 28, April 4 and April 20.

Applicants are advised to come with an up-to-date CV and will face a full day of activities, including personal introductions, situational role-play, team exercises and an individual interview.

Based in Budapest, Wizz Air serves many cities across Europe as well as some destinations in North Africa and the Middle East.
