easyJet Airline Careers — Multiple Job Vacancies in the United Kingdom. easyJet is a British low-cost airline founded in 1995 and headquartered at London Luton Airport.

As checked on 12 November 2026, easyJet is hiring A320 Rated Captains for 2027 at four United Kingdom bases — London Gatwick, Manchester, Newcastle and London Southend. Cabin crew recruitment for Summer 2027 is being reviewed in phases, and the airline's cadet routes for future pilots are open through its training partners. All applications are made online through the airline's official careers portal — there is no walk in interview for these roles.

Read the full vacancy details, requirements and application steps below.
easyJet is known for its no-frills approach and its point-to-point network, and its crews fly a young, modern Airbus fleet. Pilots join a short-haul operation where rosters are known weeks in advance and night stops are rare, with a fast route to command. Cabin crew receive four weeks of paid training and can apply to become a Cabin Manager after just 12 months as crew. Check the requirements for the role you want before you apply, because each vacancy carries its own experience, licence and medical criteria.
