Are you our next First Officer in Brussels?

 Have you always dreamed of a career as a First Officer at Transavia? Are you passionate about flying and eager to join one of the friendliest airlines in Europe? We are looking for experienced B737NG First Officers and would love to hear from you.

You will initially operate from our Brussels base on the B737NG. In the coming years, the B737 fleet will be gradually replaced by the Airbus A321neo, and you will receive full conversion training to transition to the A321neo.

What are your duties?

As a First Officer at Transavia, you will be responsible for the safety and efficiency of our challenging flight operations. You and the entire crew will deliver a truly great journey for both our passengers and our company. At Transavia, we value teamwork. During each flight, you make sure (under the direction of the Captain) that everyone on board has a safe and pleasant flight. You will work closely with the rest of the crew, as well as with the operational support colleagues before and during the flight, within and beyond Transavia.

As a First Officer you will take off and land at a large variety of airports, from Greek islands and popular city break destinations. Lots of destinations with challenging factors such as high terrain and varying weather conditions. It’s truly a pilot's dream job. You will also enjoy the best views in the world and share this experience with professional and enthusiastic colleagues.
