We have got this info from the Wizz Air UK Pilot Recruitment department and is current as of July 2023. Further info is available from Wizz here. At WIZZ we believe in a future where everyone has the freedom to travel. It is this vision that motivates us on a daily basis, and rewards our increasingly diverse team dedicated to achieve it. We work hard, we have fun and we get things done. For some the sky is the limit, for us, the sky is where the fun begins. Join us to break down every last barrier between people and air travel.
