Non-Rated First Officers & Captains

Play Airlines is recruiting non-rated First Officers and Captains for its Airbus narrow-body fleet based in Keflavik, Iceland. Captains with 500 hours or more on an Airbus FBW aircraft may require fewer total flying hours.

Play, an Icelandic low-cost airline, offers flights to popular destinations efficiently for both passengers and the planet. Its Maltese AOC daughter company, FLY PLAY EUROPE, is seeking Captains and First Officers to operate its aircraft to exciting destinations. The airline values experience and can offer long-term employment with potential commuting options.

The airline is seeking positive and professional pilots who prioritize safety. Play offers exciting opportunities and possibilities for career development. A valid type rating on the Airbus A320 family is considered an advantage but is not a mandatory requirement.

Play's fleet consists of newer Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft, designed to emit fewer greenhouse gases and transport passengers with a minimal carbon footprint. Safety is paramount at Play, supported by core principles emphasizing on-time performance, simplicity, happiness, and low prices.

Play is building a strong team with a unique atmosphere in a workplace free from discrimination. The airline seeks to onboard optimistic, knowledgeable, and capable individuals who are passionate about flying, diversity, and fun.

For further information, prospective candidates are invited to join Play's Virtual Open Days (dates and registration forms can be found on their LinkedIn posts).
