Wizz Air to introduce fixed rosters

A fixed roster pattern for pilots and cabin crew is being introduced by Wizz Air.

The aim is to ensure the budget carrier maintains its operational stability as well as supporting “ambitious” development plans.

The scheme will be gradually introduced across the network from October.

It is designed to improve roster predictability and the quality of work-life balance for the crew, according to the airline.

The new fixed roster patterns, which might differ based on location, will be introduced around Wizz Air’s bases over the next six months. 

Pilots choosing to remain with their current flexible roster pattern will be offered compensation based on their rank.

The move comes as the airline looks to recruit new pilots and cabin staff.

Operations officer Roland Tischner said: “I am excited to offer our crew the option to choose a fixed roster pattern. 

“We welcome current and future employees to choose their schedule based on their own individual preferences. 

“I believe that this flexibility will further support the work-life balance of our crew, making Wizz Air an even better place to work.”
