Ryanair Holdings PLC said late on Monday that it will hire 2,000
new pilots over the next three years, as it starts planning for a
return to growth after the pandemic.
The low-cost carrier said it has taken delivery of its first
Boeing 737-8200 Gamechanger aircraft, out of more than 210, as it
expects passengers to grow to 200 million by fiscal 2024.
The budget airline said training courses will take place through
2021, to be ready for summer 2022, for positions all over
Europe.
"As part of Ryanair's career development initiatives, most
Captain vacancies created by these new aircraft deliveries will be
filled by internal promotions which creates opportunities for
replacement First Officers, and ultimately new cadet pilots who can
kick-start their pilot career with Ryanair so they can grow into
the next generation of Ryanair's First Officers and Captain," the
company said.
