Flybe has previously announced it is planning to recruit at least 120 new Commanders and First Officers as well as around 150 newly-qualified pilots during 2016 to support future growth plans.

Director of Flight Operations for Flybe, Colin Rydon, said: “We currently connect Britain, but our ambition is to connect Europe. We look forward to meeting some experienced pilots who have what it takes to join a fast-paced, fast growing airline to support us in that growth. We are travelling the length and breadth of our network so that those looking to join us during this very exciting period of growth can learn more about life at Flybe and the career opportunities we offer.”

Flybe is looking for pilots who will live and breathe ‘the Purple Way’, bringing the company values to life as part of a people-focused culture.

Speaking at CTC Aviation’s Pilot Graduation Ceremony last December, Flybe CEO Saad Hammad highlighted the strong career trajectory opportunities for those now joining the airline: “Our pilots have the opportunity to move from turbo-props to jets, and those joining as newly-qualified First Officers could progress to command within three and a half to four years. There are also opportunities to become trainers or to join our management team.”
