British Airways has announced plans to recruit a record number of flying crew in 2016.
The airline wants to hire more than 350 pilots and 1,600 cabin crew and it will be the largest intake in a single year for the carrier.
All flying crew will be trained at BA’s global learning academy based at Heathrow Airport, which includes 15 flight simulators.
Captain Stephen Riley, BA’s director of flight operations, said: “We have excellent opportunities for new pilots with the British Airways Future Pilot Programme entering its fifth successful year, as well as the very best experienced flight crew from other airlines and the military.
“We’re proud we have more female pilots than ever before, and are continuing our recruitment campaign to encourage more women to apply to fly commercial aircraft.”
