Budget airline Ryanair announced today that it will create over 1,000 new jobs this year, as its fleet expands from 270 to 305 aircraft.
New vacancies will be formed in pilots, cabin crew, engineers and sales/marketing positions, the group said, but none of these jobs will be for Irish citizens back home due to high charges at government-owned airports and Ireland's €3 travel tax.

According to Ryanair's Stephen McNamara, "Ryanair looks forward to another strong year of fleet and traffic growth in 2012 and we are proud to create over 1,000 new jobs in Europe for pilots, cabin crew, engineers and sales and marketing people, as Ryanair's unmatched lowest fares, and no fuel surcharge guarantee continues to make Ryanair one of Ireland's very few, world leading, multinational success stories."
