Cebu Pacific hiring 75 pilots, 200 flight crew

BUDGET carrier Cebu Pacific Air is hiring 75 pilots and 200 cabin crew and offering them high compensation to support its expansion in Asia, the airline said over the weekend.

“It is an exciting and fun time for the airline as it proceeds with its expansion plans and takes delivery of 20 more brand-new Airbus A320 aircraft from 2011-2014,” vice president Candice Iyog said in a statement.

“We look forward to welcoming more people into the Cebu Pacific family.”

The airline said it was looking to hire 75 Airbus and ATR pilots, 200 cabin crew, 10 mechanics and engineers, and 20 ground support crew.

The carrier took delivery of four new Airbuses from October 2010 to January 2011. It said it will have 37 aircraft with an average age of less than 2.5 years by the end of this year, and that it will have 16 more Airbus A320 aircraft between 2012 and 2014.

Iyog said Cebu Pacific had created over 4,000 jobs since its incorporation in 2006, and of those over 500 were made available last year. The airline had an annual payroll of over P2 billion, she said.

“We are proud to provide high-paying jobs to Filipinos and keep them close to their families,” Iyog said. Applicants may attend the airline’s recruitment event at the Hotel Intercontinental Manila on Feb. 11 to 12, she said.

Cebu Pacific had earlier reported that passenger traffic rose 19 percent to 10.5 million in 2010, up 19 percent from 876,000 in 2009, as a result of a surge in its international operations.

The number of international passengers jumped 38 percent to 2.23 million, while the number of domestic passengers grew 15 percent to 8.23 million.

Cebu Pacific operates 260 flights daily to 16 international destinations and 33 domestic destinations.
