Low-cost airline easyJet has pledged to fast-track applications for former P&O Ferries staff recently made redundant. It is encouraging workers laid off by the ferry operator to apply for cabin crew roles with the airline.
Besides the cabin crew vacancies other roles are available at easyJet’s London Luton Airport headquarters. Tina Milton, Director of Cabin Services for easyJet, said: "Everyone at easyJet is saddened by the news about P&O Ferries and the anxiety that their people will be feeling. As part of our ongoing recruitment drive we still have fantastic seasonal cabin crew opportunities across our UK network, along with a number of roles at our London Luton Airport headquarters.
"Our recruitment team will be reaching out to as many individuals as possible, to encourage them to apply. We know that P&O Ferries’ people will be a valuable addition to our easyJet team and we would be delighted to welcome many of them onboard with us in the coming weeks.”
