Established Airlines Rebuilding and Expanding
It’s not just new airlines like Riyadh Air driving cabin crew recruitment in 2025. Established carriers are also ramping up their hiring as they rebuild and expand following the COVID-19 pandemic. With global travel demand now back in full swing, many airlines are increasing their fleets, launching new routes, and looking for fresh talent to meet the growing needs of their passengers.
Qatar Airways, for instance, has announced plans to significantly increase its cabin crew workforce to support the expansion of its fleet and the growing demand for international flights. Qatar Airways is known for its high standards of service and offers a fantastic career path for cabin crew members seeking to work for a top-tier airline.
In Europe, Ryanair has announced its intentions to recruit over 5,000 cabin crew members by 2025 as it looks to grow its route network across Europe and beyond. With an aggressive fleet expansion plan, including the addition of hundreds of new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, Ryanair’s hiring spree presents an incredible opportunity for those looking to enter the budget airline sector.
The Asia-Pacific Boom: New Routes, New Opportunities for Cabin Crew Recruitment
The Asia-Pacific region is also experiencing significant growth, creating new opportunities for cabin crew recruitment. Singapore Airlines has hinted at increasing its recruitment efforts to support the expansion of its long-haul routes to Europe and North America.

New Routes and Growth for Low-Cost Carriers Boosting Recruitment of Cabin Crew
Low-cost carriers (LCCs) have always been a strong recruitment ground for cabin crew, and 2025 will be no different.
