EasyJet is extending a recruitment drive aimed at hiring cabin crew aged 50 and over. The company says it is boosting the programme after reporting a rise in the number of older cabin crew within its workforce.
EasyJet previously launched an initiative in 2022 to recruit older workers. It now reports that the number of cabin crew over 50 has more than doubled, while the number of those over 60 has almost quadrupled. Multiple outlets describe EasyJet’s move as part of a broader effort to attract more experienced workers and expand its cabin crew profile.
The coverage focuses largely on the same company figures and timeline. Some reports also mention that adults making late-career changes report benefits such as improved happiness, while others concentrate more directly on the recruitment expansion and the stated growth in older age groups among cabin staff. No sources cited here indicate any change in safety or regulatory requirements, with the emphasis remaining on EasyJet’s hiring push and internal workforce trends.
