Wizz Air announced that it will be reinstating Pilot salaries to pre-Covid-19 levels as of 1 October 2021, becoming one of the first airlines to end temporary pay cuts for pilots following the pandemic.
It comes after Wizz Air announced its largest ever recruitment for Pilots and Flight Attendants. They will hire 200 Pilots and 800 Cabin crew embers by December 2021. Over the next ten years, Wizz Air is committed to creating thousands more jobs, as it plans to triple the size of its fleet to 500 Airbus aircraft. In order to fill positions created by this growth, the carrier will hire on average 2,000 new recruits each year until 2030.
“There is no doubt the past year has been challenging for the industry, but we are proud to announce today that we are one of the first airlines to reinstate pilot salaries to pre-pandemic levels. We thank each and every one of our staff for the continued commitment, hard work and resilience they have shown since March 2020. As we continue to focus on sustainable growth, we look forward to welcoming thousands of new recruits in the coming years, to join our growing family.” - Executive Vice President and Chief Group Operations Officer, Mike Delehant said.
