Pilot Career Opportunities at Barcelona Event

As part of its ongoing recruitment efforts, the Latvian airline airBaltic is hosting a Pilot Open Day in Barcelona, Spain, and invites all pilots to attend the event to learn more about job opportunities at the airline. The event will be held on 22 October 2024 at the INNSiDE by Meliá Barcelona Aeropuerto hotel in El Prat de Llobregat, Spain.

During the Pilot Open Day, the participants will have a unique opportunity to meet an airBaltic Captain from Spain, who will share insights into Flight Crew life at airBaltic, as well as the airline's Deputy Chief Pilot and the Pilot Recruitment Manager. Additionally, all interested participants will gain valuable knowledge about airBaltic’s operations, its commitment to pilot development, and the benefits and career growth opportunities the airline offers.
