Eurowings, a German low-cost carrier, continues to expand its operations and is gearing up for a busy summer travel season in 2022.
In a statement dated January 31, 2022, the Lufthansa (LHAB) (LHA) subsidiary revealed that over the next 12 months, it expects to fill 750 cabin and flight deck crew positions at its two branches, Eurowings Germany and Eurowings Europe, by hiring roughly 550 flight attendants and 200 pilots.
In 2023, the carrier expects to hire the same number of new crew members and plans to expand its workforce by hiring more on-ground personnel.
“We are pleased to be able to offer new colleagues a perspective at Eurowings again this year in order to continue our planned growth,” the company’s statement reads.
It continues: “With more than 1,500 new hires within 24 months, we are investing in the future viability of Eurowings at a time when our industry is working its way out of the deepest crisis. At the same time, we are setting the course for a significant expansion of our flight program in the summer of 2022.”
Following the carrier’s ambitious ambitions to dramatically enhance its flight schedule for the next summer season, the decision to boost employee numbers was made.
Eurowings forecasts considerable catch-up effects in summer 2022, despite low demand during the winter season, which was still hampered by global COVID-19 outbreaks.
The carrier will also add more than 140 destinations to its summer flight schedule in order to meet increased customer demand.
Eurowings also emphasizes Mallorca, which the airline considers to be a top-of-mind destination for European passengers.
With up to 380 flights each week, the airline expects to service Mallorca from more than 20 airports in various European nations.
