Ryanair has confirmed the rollout of 100 new jobs from one of its UK bases. The budget airline, which operates from numerous UK bases including Birmingham, has announced 100 new cabin crew positions at its London Stansted site.
These roles are intended to support the airline's continued growth, with a target of serving 300 million passengers by 2034. Ryanair's Jade Kirwan said on Friday, April 24: 'We're excited to announce 100 new cabin crew positions at our London Stansted base to support Ryanair growth to 300 million passengers by 2034.'
To find the next 100 cabin crew members, Ryanair hosted a recruitment event at the Radisson Blu Hotel at Stansted Airport on Monday, April 27. Attendees learned about Ryanair, its operations, and what it means to be part of Europe's leading airline, as well as hearing about cabin crew benefits, including remuneration packages and discounted travel. This perk allows crew to travel across Ryanair's network of over 235 destinations.
Ms Kirwan added: 'Those interested in building a career with Europe's largest and lowest fare airline – Ryanair – where hard work is rewarded with fast-track career opportunities and incredible benefits, like discounted travel across our industry leading network of over 235 destinations, should come along to our recruitment event taking place on Monday, 27 April, in Radisson Blu Hotel at Stansted Airport, to meet some of the Ryanair team and learn more about these exciting new cabin crew roles.'
Changes to Check-In and Bag Drop Times
This news follows the airline's announcement last week that it would increase check-in and bag drop closing times to one hour, instead of the current 40 minutes, starting from November 2026. The airline stated that the amendment to current regulations is due to a desire to provide more time for passengers to get through airport security and passport queues, in a bid to reduce the 'small number of passengers' who currently miss flights due to these queues. This change, effective November 10, is expected to give those checking in bags 'slightly more time to get through airport security and passport queues and arrive at their departure gate before boarding starts.'
