Norwegian seeks pilots to expand its Dublin base

Norwegian Air is looking to recruit 40 pilots for its Dublin base to support its transatlantic expansion plans. The airline said the additional Boeing 737 pilots it is looking for will virtually double the size of the Ireland base. Norwegian operates European flights from Dublin to Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Helsinki. It also recently announced plans to expand its summer 2019 schedule to 40 weekly departures to trans-Atlantic destinations from March next year. The additional flights signal an increase of 37% in its schedule from Ireland to the US and Canada. In a possible dig at Ryanair, Norwegian said it looks forward “to welcoming qualified pilots who want to work for an airline that recognises the vital contribution that they make to our business during this continued phase of expansion in Ireland.” <br/>
