Unite said it had secured the 18-month deal after “extensive” negotiations. In addition, easyJet crew will take home an extra 3% on their variable pay received per journey according to the length of the flight.
Cabin managers and probationary cabin managers will also receive a one off payment of £2,000, while flight attendants will receive £1,500.
Unite also achieved policy changes at easyJet. The airline will now pay £15 to all cabin crew on board when a service is disrupted by over an hour. If a delay exceeds 120 minutes, the payment is £30.
Lindsey Olliver, Unite regional officer, said: “Through the union’s collective strength and solid negotiations, we have achieved a significant pay increase for our members.
“Cabin crew are an integral part of easyJet’s operations, and this deal recognises their value.”
