WELLINGTON: Qantas subsidiary Jetstar has begun recruiting some 250 staff for its planned New Zealand expansion.
The Dominion-Post newspaper reports today that the airline is seeking up to 250 new pilots, cabin crew and ground staff.
It currently flies to Australia from Christchurch, and will add trans-Tasman services to Auckland from the end of April. It has also
reportedly applied to run domestic routes, a move expected to follow the rationalisation of 'full service' Qantas domestic flights.
CEO Bruce Buchanan said about 100 staff would be employed in the first wave, adding to the approximately 65 in Christchurch.
Jetstar would add a third 180-seat Airbus A320 jet to its New Zealand fleet to cater for the Auckland service and Mr Buchanan said up to
another five A320s would be added during the year, which would require another 150 staff.
