British Airways Launches Cabin Crew Recruitment Drive

British Airways has launched a cabin crew recruitment drive.

Applications are now open and assessments will take place throughout November.

The airline has not said how many it is looking to recruit, though it is fast-tracking recruitment schedules with the hope of getting people in for the first training courses in January, which would enable those recruits to take off by March 2022.

Crew will be able to earn up to £28,000 a year with flying/duty pay and a tax-fee subsistence allowance, as well as company benefits.

Plus, to incentivise new starters, the airline is waiving its policy around the need to do six months at the airline before accessing staff travel.

Sean Doyle, British Airways’ Chairman and CEO said “After 18 long months of closed or restricted borders across the world, we are finally seeing a demand for travel return as countries start to open up and ease their restrictions. This means that we can finally get back to doing what we do best – flying our customers around the world. As we look ahead to next summer, we are excited to start welcoming brilliant new people and former colleagues back to the British Airways family.

“Everyone is welcome at British Airways; we have an opportunity to give people of all ages and backgrounds the chance to see the world and help shape the future of our airline. We know that there are people looking for the first step in their career or a complete career change. We will value the skills and experience they will bring to the role to help serve our customers.”

Those interested can apply through the British Airways careers site.
