The Belgian airline TUI fly, the former Jetairfly, is looking to take on 330 new staff in time for the summer holiday season. The airline hopes to recruit 260 stewards and stewardesses on temporary contracts and 70 pilots on indefinite contracts. TUI fly says that it needs more staff as it will be offering more destinations and will be increasing the frequency of its flights to a number of existing destinations.

The temporary steward and stewardess’ contracts will run until the end of October. TUI fly’s Spokesman Piet Demeyere told VRT News that “We don’t need as many people during the winter. This is something that is typical for our industry”.
