Madrid, 12 de julio de 2021. Ryanair, la primera aerolínea en Europa, ha comunicado una campaña de contratación de 2.000 nuevos pilotos para tripular los aviones que se entregarán en los próximos 3 años, tiempo en el que Ryanair se irá recuperando y reconstruyendo tras la pandemia provocada por la Covid-19.
Ryanair ha recibido ya su primer avión Boeing 737-8200 Gamechanger, que ayudará a reducir costes, disminuir el consumo de combustible y limitar el ruido y las emisiones de CO2. La inversión en nueva flota, que será entregada durante la fase de recuperación de la pandemia, profundiza en el compromiso medioambiental de Ryanair como la principal aerolínea más ecológica y limpia de Europa. Se trata de una excelente oportunidad para que tanto pilotos con experiencia como aspirantes consigan buenos puestos de trabajo en la aviación al mando de estos aviones.
Los pilotos de Ryanair disfrutan de un buen salario, de las mejores rotaciones con turnos de cinco días de trabajo/cuatro de descanso, de un excelente desarrollo profesional y de una formación de primera clase. Como parte de las iniciativas de desarrollo profesional de Ryanair, la mayoría de las vacantes de capitán creadas por estas nuevas entregas de aviones se cubrirán mediante promociones internas, lo que crea oportunidades para los Primeros Oficiales de reemplazo y, en última instancia, para los nuevos pilotos cadetes que pueden iniciar su carrera con Ryanair para convertirse en la próxima generación de Primeros Oficiales y Capitanes de Ryanair.
Los cursos de formación tendrán lugar a lo largo de 2021 de cara a que estén listos para el verano de 2022 y cubrirán puestos en toda Europa. Ryanair se ha asociado con la Airline Flight Academy de Dublín para impartir cursos de formación en Boeing 737 como parte de esta campaña de contratación. Los aspirantes a pilotos también pueden consultar en careers.ryanair.com/pilots los detalles de los programas de formación de Ryanair Mentored.
Darrell Hughes, People Director de Ryanair, ha declarado: “Mientras recibimos más de 210 aviones Boeing 737-8200, Ryanair contratará a más de 2.000 pilotos en los próximos 3 años para cubrir los puestos creados por este crecimiento. Es una gran noticia para los pilotos experimentados y aspirantes, pero también para nuestros propios pilotos que disfrutarán de ascensos rápidos. A lo largo de la pandemia, Ryanair ha trabajado estrechamente con nuestra gente para salvar puestos de trabajo y estamos encantados de empezar a planificar la vuelta al crecimiento en los próximos años a medida que nos recuperamos de la crisis de Covid-19 y crecemos hasta los 200 millones de pasajeros en el año fiscal 2026”.

Ryanair, Europe’s No. 1 airline, today (12th July) announced a recruitment drive for 2,000 new pilots to crew aircraft deliveries over the next 3 years as Ryanair recovers and rebuilds from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ryanair has now taken delivery of its first Boeing 737-8200 Gamechanger aircraft, which help Ryanair lower costs, cut fuel consumption and lower noise and CO2 emissions. This investment in new aircraft arriving through the recovery phase of the Covid-19 Pandemic deepens Ryanair’s environmental commitment as Europe’s greenest, cleanest major airline and also creates these exciting opportunities for experienced and aspiring pilots to secure the best pilot jobs in aviation. Ryanair Pilots enjoy great pay, industry leading five on, four off rosters, outstanding career development and world class training. As part of Ryanair’s career development initiatives, most Captain vacancies created by these new aircraft deliveries will be filled by internal promotions which creates opportunities for replacement First Officers, and ultimately new cadet pilots who can kickstart their pilot career with Ryanair so they can grow into the next generation of Ryanair’s First Officers and Captains.
Training courses take place through 2021 to be ready for Summer 2022 for positions all over Europe. Ryanair has partnered with Airline Flight Academy in Dublin to deliver Boeing 737 Training Courses as part of this recruitment drive. Aspiring pilots can also check out careers.ryanair.com/pilots for details of Ryanair Mentored training programmes.
Ryanair’s People Director Darrell Hughes said:
“As we take delivery of more than 210 Boeing 737-8200 gamechanger aircraft, Ryanair will recruit 2,000+ pilots over the next 3 years to fill positions created by this growth. This is great news for experienced and aspiring pilots but also for our own pilots who will enjoy fast tracked promotions. Throughout the pandemic, Ryanair has worked closely with our people to save jobs and we are delighted to start planning for a return to growth over the coming years as we recover from the Covid-19 crisis and grow to 200m guests by FY2026’’.

Confirm Vaccinated Families With Kids (U18) Can Travel Without Quarantine From 19 July
Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline, today (9 July) called on Transport Minister Eamon Ryan to immediately follow the UK Govt’s decision to allow both vaccinated citizens and their U18 kids to travel freely from 19 July without quarantine restrictions.
The UK Govt’s decision has given UK families a much-needed summer holiday boost and Minister Ryan (and NPHET) should now follow the UK science which shows that vaccines are highly effective at preventing serious illness / fatalities and have broken the link between rising Covid case no’s and hospitalisations. With little Covid risk to children U18, they should be allowed to travel freely to/from the EU with their families this summer from 19 July.
A Ryanair spokesperson said:
“The UK and other EU countries continue to open up and remove travel restrictions, yet Minister Ryan and NPHET continue to dither and mismanage Ireland’s reopening. With less than 60 Covid cases in hospital and less than 17 in ICU’s there is no justification for keeping Irish families locked up despite very low Covid hospitalisations and ICU numbers in Ireland.
Ryanair calls on Minister Ryan to follow the UK science, apply the same rules in Ireland and remove the need for vaccinated families and their U18 children to quarantine upon return from EU holiday hotspots, which will give Irish families a much-needed certainty and a late summer holiday in July, Aug & Sept”.

While interest was strong across all markets, the UK trailblazed ahead with almost a third of applicants, closely followed by Ireland (20%), Italy (14%), Spain (12%), Germany (9%), France (7%) and Poland (6%).
The seven selected panellists include:

Ryanair will welcome the panel to Dublin in September for the first of the Customer Advisory Panel meetings, with future meetings to take place in other major European cities such as Madrid, Rome, Berlin, Warsaw and more. Flights and hotel accommodation for panel members (and a partner) will be provided and panel members will have the opportunity to explore Dublin City on their 2-night trip.
The input from the Panel will help shape Ryanair’s ongoing customer improvements program, re-enforcing Ryanair’s commitment to delivering the lowest fares, on-time flights and great customer service.
Ryanair’s Director of Marketing & Digital, Dara Brady said:
“We were delighted with the level of interest that this Customer Advisory Panel attracted all across Europe, having received over 10,000 applications from across the 16 countries in which we operate and are really looking forward to meeting the successful candidates in Dublin this September. The panel is a diverse cross-section of Ryanair customers, equipped with valuable insights, who possess great energy and we are excited to have them on board to help us drive improvements in Ryanair’s customer care and service.
While Ryanair cannot be beaten for low fares, choice and on-time flights, as we grow to 200m passengers p.a, we are determined to keep listening to our customers and improving our service to them. As Ryanair emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic, customers can look forward to even more service improvements on the youngest and greenest aircraft at even lower prices!”
