Spirit Airlines Plans To Hire Over 4,000 People In 2023

Ultra-low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines recently announced its plan to hire several thousand new employees this year. The move comes as the airline battles an ongoing struggle to move forward with its proposed merger with JetBlue Airways, reported Simply flying.

Spirit initially announced the plans to boost its workforce last month. The Miramar, Florida-based airline is holding recruitment events in three cities this month to attract future employees.

“More opportunities”

More than 4,000 new workers will be welcomed at Spirit this year as the carrier continues to add new planes and destinations to its network. According to a statement, the new employees will include pilots, flight attendants, maintenance workers, and other roles for support. Linde Grindle, Spirit Airlines’ Senior Vice President, and Chief Human Resources Officer said the airline has several roles available.

“We’re welcoming thousands of new Spirit Family Members across our network this year and have a broad range of positions available for people with all different interests, talents and experience levels. As Spirit continues to grow, so do our people. Joining one of the fastest-growing airlines means our Team Members have more opportunities to gain fun travel perks, advance their career goals and enable people to travel more often, to more places.”
