Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has announced a massive recruitment drive, with over 3,000 jobs up for grabs across the UK and Europe in a variety of positions to support the company’s growth – and over 500 of these will be based at Manchester Airport.
The announcement comes as the award-winning airline and tour operator continues its growth strategy, on the back of a bumper Summer ‘18. After its biggest ever programme of flights and holidays this summer, the company will increase capacity at Manchester by more than 10% in Summer ‘19, with over 2.8 million seats on sale. This programme will see Jet2.com and Jet2holidays launch four brand new destinations from Manchester Airport – Bourgas in Bulgaria, Izmir in Turkey, Chania in Crete and La Rochelle in France.
To support this growth and to continue its track record of delivering award-winning customer service, the company is looking to recruit passionate and talented individuals to fill over 250 Cabin Crew and more than 250 Ground Operations positions at Manchester Airport, in addition to vacancies in Flight Deck roles.
The Flight Deck roles are targeted at experienced Pilots with a strong training record and the commitment, energy and flexibility required to deliver the best service to customers.
The Ground Operations Team will be responsible for ensuring that flights depart safely and on time. Working as part of a team of Customer Helpers, they work hard to ensure that customers have the perfect start to a lovely holiday.
Aspiring Cabin Crew members will be expected to deliver a consistently high level of safety and a VIP service to customers, working closely with the Flight Deck and the rest of the Crew to make every flight memorable.

Not only is it testament to Jet2.com’s commitment to growing at the UK’s third biggest airport, it also highlights the impact Manchester Airport’s continued growth has on the region from, an economic and employment point of view.”
