Tips for applying

Each airline in the group applies its own conditions and its own recruitment calendar, published by market on the careers portal (United Kingdom and Ireland, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Nordic countries). The official pages everywhere require English at B2 level, supplemented depending on the base by German, French or Dutch, Dutch or Swedish, as well as an arm reach of 1.89 m and the ability to swim 25 metres.
