Sam Pritchard, British Airways’ Gatwick Programme Director, said: “Working as cabin crew is a unique and exciting job which will take you to incredible destinations. We are looking for people who know how to deliver brilliant customer service to join our team and we would relish the opportunity to bring people who are local to Gatwick onboard to join our family.”

The new subsidiary, which will be British Airways branded and be consistent with the Heathrow customer experience, will operate to some of the most popular leisure destinations across Europe and a schedule will be shared in the coming weeks, to ensure customers will be able to plan ahead for a summer 2022 holiday.

The airline has already contacted people in the company’s existing talent pools at Gatwick. These pools hold the details of people who have left the business but have expressed an interest in returning when jobs are available. For people looking to work at Heathrow, BA is also welcoming people to join its central fleet, which operates both short and long-haul routes.
