Norwegian Air Shuttle AS (NAS) said it has received more than 5,500 applications for 300 U.S.-based cabin-crew posts as the discount carrier recruits staff for an expanding fleet of Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliner planes.
About 170 people have been offered jobs in Ft. Lauderdale and New York, which the Fornebu-based airline serves from Scandinavia. Norwegian Air will also begin flying to New York and Los Angeles from London’s Gatwick Airport in July as the Dreamliner fleet grows from three to seven aircraft this year.
“Norwegian’s conditions are highly competitive,” Gunnar Martinsen, its human resources director, said today in a statement. Applicants include staff with experience at British Airways and United Airlines, he said.
