An ambitious recruitment programme is launched this month to find both direct entry captains and first officers to join BA CityFlyer, the wholly owned British Airways’ subsidiary that operates from the Docklands airport to more than 30 business and leisure destinations across Europe.
The new recruits will join over 200 existing pilots who currently fly the fleet of 20 Embraer 170 and Embraer 190 jet aircraft based at London City Airport.
Paul Nicholls, head of flight crew, said: “As we continue to expand we are recruiting pilots to play a pivotal role in our success and we are searching for exceptional individuals to join our growing team. “We want to hear from men and women with an impressive training record and the commitment, energy and flexibility to operate in a dynamic environment with the passion to deliver excellent standards of customer service.”
The recruitment drive is being launched on September 19 with a roadshow at The Heathrow Hotel Bath Road, close to Heathrow Airport, hosted by the BA CityFlyer Pilot Management team.
