TfW jobs alert for ex-Flybe staff

TRANSPORT for Wales is looking to employ staff left out of work by the collapse of Flybe.

The thousands of staff affected by the collapse of the aviation operator are urged to look at the employment vacancies with Transport for Wales and Transport for Wales Rail Services.

TfW has even set up a dedicated email address for former Flybe employees: flybe@tfw.wales

The train operator says it has a number of vacancies coming up including onboard customer hosts and chefs.

The Minister for Economy and Transport, Ken Skates, said: “My thoughts go out to the thousands of hard-working Flybe employees who have been left devastated by the news. I am working closely with all my fellow Assembly Member colleagues and key stakeholder partners to ensure we’re doing all that we can to support everyone affected robustly to minimise both the social and economic impacts for those most affected.

“I am pleased that Transport for Wales has shared opportunities available to join the TfW family across their communication platforms to show that the staff at Flybe and their specialist skills are very much in demand across Wales.”

Marie Daly, director of People and Organisational Development with Transport for Wales Rail Services, said: “We were really saddened to hear the news about Flybe, and we recognise that there are some highly skilled, customerfocused people who will no longer have jobs as a result. We would strongly encourage anyone affected and looking for a new opportunity to get in touch with us to find out what roles will be coming up with us in the future.

“We have exciting and ambitious plans to transform the transport network for the people of Wales and the borders and want the best people possible to join us on that journey.”
