“Wizz Air will double capacities in Romania and employ personnel to attend the passengers on new aircraft to be allocated to Romania,” Kazmer said. The company currently employs 80 people locally.
Wizz Air plans to employ pilots and flight attendants, as the current economic crisis provides the opportunity to attract well trained personnel from the market.
“The number of people looking for a job has increased, given the layoffs made by various companies. I think this is an advantage. On the other hand, we do not believe that a low salary level creates conditions for good long-term results,” Kazmer said.
Personnel turnover within the company is low, as employees appreciate Wizz Air’s stability and development plans, especially amid the current economic situation, she added.
The company plans to become market leader in Romania on the low-cost segment and is estimating it will carry 1.7 million passengers this year. Its main competitors are Blue Air, MyAir, EasyJet and SkyEurope.
