“Ryanair continues to hire and train the best pilots on a weekly basis, as we expand our fleet and our world class team of pilots. I am pleased to welcome our 17 new Captains and 7 new First Officers to Ryanair today, to work alongside the 1,160 new recruits in 2018, and more than 1,100 new pilots who we welcomed to Ryanair in 2017. 

The ladies and gentlemen that fly for Ryanair are the best in the business and it’s no surprise that we continue to attract hundreds of pilot applicants from other airlines, who join Ryanair for our industry leading pay, excellent working conditions, unrivalled career progression and brand new aircraft. I look forward to welcoming many more as we grow our route network, fleet and passenger numbers over the coming months and years.”
