Marion Geoffroy, managing director of Wizz Air UK, 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 addition of new aircraft and 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."
Wizz Air, which operates in over 50 countries, announced in January that it was expanding its Gatwick Airport operations after acquiring 15 daily slots from Norwegian Air.
The Hungarian airline will have five aircraft based at the Surrey hub from Spring 2022 onwards allowing it to offer new as yet unannounced routes.
Stephanie Wear, VP of Aviation Development, Gatwick Airport said: “Wizz’s expansion and commitment to Gatwick is hopefully the start of an exciting time for the airport and the airline. We are delighted that Wizz will be adding 18 new routes to a range of popular European destinations, creating important jobs for local people.
"The upcoming recruitment days are a fantastic way for prospective cabin crew members to learn more about Wizz, Gatwick Airport and the exciting roles on offer.”
