ANA to employ around 500 flight attendants in spring 2024

All Nippon Airways Co. (ANA) will hire 500 new graduates as flight attendants in spring 2024 as demand for air travel is recovering following the lifting of strict border controls,

The company didn’t employ new university graduates for its flight attendant positions in the spring of 2021 and 2022, and it will not in 2023.

Those who will graduate from universities or schools in spring 2024 and those who have accepted a job offer with the company to join it in fiscal 2023 can apply to be among the new 500 flight attendants.

Those who graduated or will graduate from universities or schools in the spring of 2021, 2022, or 2023 and who have no such an offer can also apply.

Around 700 new graduates annually joined the company as flight attendants before the pandemic.

The company restricted employing new graduates to positions such as pilots or those for disabled workers in the spring of 2021 and 2022.

It will resume employing new graduates for general office positions within the company in spring 2023.

The company reduced its number of flight attendants by inviting them to volunteer to temporarily work at other companies.

The number of passengers for the company’s domestic flights is expected to return to the pre-COVID-19 level at the end of fiscal 2022.

Observers predict passengers for its international flights will soon return to 60 percent of that seen before the pandemic.

The company’s rival, Japan Airlines Co. (JAL), will resume employing new graduates as flight attendants in spring 2023.

JAL didn’t employ new graduates as flight attendants in the spring of 2021 and 2022.
