Budget airline easyJet says it needs to recruit 1,000 pilots over the next five years as it comes out of the pandemic, and is focusing on bringing in more women.
The Luton-based operation said it expects a strong bounce-back this summer after being battered by restrictions on air travel during two years of Covid-19.
Its pilot training programme is being launched for the first time since the start of the pandemic and the business said it also wants to tackle a gender imbalance in the industry.
