Riga, Latvia: In a bold growth push, Latvian carrier airBaltic has opened up to 200 Junior Cabin Crew vacancies across its Baltic bases in Riga (Latvia), Tallinn (Estonia) and Vilnius (Lithuania). The surge in hiring spans not just cabin crew, but also other departments pilots, technical staff, commercial, operational, and support teams. The airline aims to have the new staff in place by the 2026 summer season to support its expanding operations and route network.
According to airBaltic’s official announcement, candidates do not need prior cabin-crew experience to apply. All selected applicants will undergo fully paid training, culminating in a “Cabin Crew certificate” in about two months.
The airline emphasizes that the role offers flexible scheduling, making it suitable even for students or those seeking a career change. In addition to on-the-job duties, successful candidates will enjoy a dynamic multicultural work environment, frequent travel opportunities, and a clearly defined path for career progression within the airline.
According to the latest recruitment data:
- Positions are distributed across the three Baltic capitals: Riga, Tallinn, and Vilnius.
- In Vilnius, the advertised monthly salary (before taxes) for junior cabin crew starts in the range of €1,100 to €1,700.
- Overall, the airline currently employs nearly 3,000 professionals and plans to scale up significantly through this hiring wave.
In addition, airBaltic recently opened new crew bases in Tallinn and Vilnius, further underlining the company’s intent to decentralize operations across multiple Baltic hubs. The recruitment drive comes as airBaltic continues to grow its fleet and expand its flight network across Europe and beyond.
Marina Volkova Head of Talent Acquisition & Development at airBaltic commented on the effort, saying, “As we prepare for the upcoming summer season and continue expanding our fleet, we are opening up to 200 Junior Cabin Crew vacancies across the Baltic region.”
Volkova added that the airline seeks both fresh entrants and those considering a career change, offering a fully funded start, training, and a support structure for professional growth.
Candidates selected as cabin crew will be entrusted with typical cabin-crew duties: onboard safety, customer care, sales (where applicable), and ensuring smooth operations for daily flights. They will be frontline representatives of the airline, responsible for delivering airBaltic’s service standards.
Given the airline’s multi-national network and growing destination list, successful applicants can expect exposure to a wide variety of flight routes, cultures, and international work environment.
Interested candidates or those looking to explore more roles (beyond cabin crew) can see full vacancy lists and apply via the official airBaltic careers portal: careers.airbaltic.com.
The 200-position drive forms part of a broader hiring effort by airBaltic, which this year has opened job opportunities across multiple functions including pilots, technicians, commercial/office staff, and support roles.
