Tianjin Airlines hunts for flight attendants in UK

Tianjin Airlines are developing into a truly international airline. Its recruitment has been kicked off in London's Gatwick Airport last week. The Tianjin-based airline in China is on the hunt for the 'best possible' flight attendants from around the world, as part of its international recruitment plan. For the first time, it has set its sights on becoming an international airline. "This will allow passengers to enjoy a truly first class, accessible and international experience," said Wen Ge, spokesman from Tianjin Airlines. The airline flies the UK's first and only direct flights to the Chinese cities of Chongqing and Tianjin. It is planning a new service to Xi'an – the home to the Terra-cotta Warriors – this summer. Tianjin Airlines was founded in June 2009, as an aviation enterprise co-established by the Tianjin government and HNA Group. Tianjin Airlines owns more than 90 airplanes, mainly consisting of A320, A330 and E190. Through its fast development in recent years, Tianjin Airlines has built up an airlines network with Tianjin, Xi'an, Hohhot, Urumqi and other areas as major hubs. They fly to over 250 cities, and have opened more than 160 domestic routes, and extend to Asia, Europe and other regions with over 30 international (regional) routes. The annual passenger volume of Tianjin Airlines has reached over 12 million. With the introduction of the A330 wide-body aircraft in 2016, Tianjin Airlines has opened new routes including Tianjin-Moscow, Tianjin-Chongqing-London, Tianjin-Chongqing-Auckland, Xi'an-London, Tianjin-Chongqing-Melbourne and many more. 2017 will be the year that Tianjin Airlines looks to increase and broaden its international profile.
