Job Description:

With sustained, secure growth and an established fleet of over 100 B737’s, now is a great time to join Jet2 as a Captain on our B737 fleet.

We currently have direct entry Captain positions available at:

  • London Stansted
  • Leeds Bradford
  • Bristol

Jet2 is the UK’s number one tour operator and a firm customer favourite. To achieve this, our UK bases are self-handled, reducing our reliance on third parties for ground operation services.

Each base is managed by a current line Captain supported by a dedicated crew development team, there to manage your professional and personal journey.

Our B737 regular schedule is almost entirely 2 sector days with full time Captains flying on average less than 750 hours each year.

Our in-house ATO has 2 UK based training centres, and Captains are eligible for over 20 secondary roles in our training, technical or pastoral teams.

If you would like to be considered to become a Jet2 Captain on our Boeing 737 fleet, you will need to meet the following criteria:

  • 3,000 hours total flying time with 1,000 hours PIC on B737 or similar sized jet aircraft. Ideally, large jet command time in the last 3 years.
  • A valid UK unfrozen Flight Crew Licence
  • Minimum English Language Proficiency Level 5
  • Current Class One Medical
  • You must hold a current B737 Type Rating

  • Transparent and fair base transfer policy – based on seniority of request rather than time in company
  • Two sector days – with options for a.m or p.m preferencing
  • Roster publication in week one of each month covering to the last day of the following month.
  • Live free bidding for 37 annual leave days– instant confirmation, not based on company seniority

  • Local base management with all bases managed by current line Captains.
  • Generous and flexible Lifestyle Options. Part time, fixed pattern rostering available 10 months after final check, subject to bid approval.
  • Discretionary Profit share payment in July 2025 each eligible full time Captain received £12,655
