Are you a high‑performing final‑year, Honours or Master’s student looking to catch the eye of an airline now? FlySafair Graduate Talent Pool 2026 is open for applications, and the deadline is fast approaching.
What the opportunity is
FlySafair is creating a talent pool of graduate candidates for future roles. The listing is based in Johannesburg and is classified as a permanent, market‑related position, but no specific vacancy is guaranteed at this stage.
Who can apply (eligibility)
- In your final year of an undergraduate programme, or completing an Honours or Master’s degree
- Academic average of 65 % or higher in your most recent results
- South African citizen with a valid ID document
- Prepared a brief, up‑to‑date curriculum vitae
No particular field of study is required. The role is linked to a career‑fair event – the title mentions the UJ STEMS Career Day, while the guidelines refer to the University of Pretoria Career Fair 2026. Only students who received the invitation through the relevant fair should apply.
What you gain
- Potential entry into FlySafair’s graduate pipeline for future openings
- Experience of a professional recruitment process in the aviation sector
- Market‑related remuneration (exact figures are not disclosed)
- Opportunity to demonstrate your organisational, teamwork and reliability skills
How to apply (step‑by‑step)
- Gather your latest academic transcript showing a 65 % average.
- Make sure your South African ID is valid.
- Prepare a concise CV that includes:
- Current qualification and institution
- Expected graduation date
- Latest average
- Relevant projects, leadership, volunteer work or vacation‑placement experience
- Contact number and email address
- Visit the official FlySafair recruitment portal: FlySafair online recruitment portal.
- Complete the online form, uploading your CV and entering your academic details.

Tips to improve your chances
- Make the 65 % requirement obvious – list your latest result at the top of the CV.
- Keep the CV to one page and use clear headings.
- Highlight teamwork, time‑management and any leadership roles.
- Show evidence of reliability – e.g., meeting deadlines on multiple university projects.
- Proofread for spelling and formatting errors; a tidy document reflects attention to detail.
- Do not submit by email – only the online portal is accepted.
- Because this is a talent‑pool, be prepared for a delayed response; continue applying for other graduate opportunities in the meantime.
Final thoughts and next steps
The FlySafair Graduate Talent Pool 2026 offers a way to place yourself in front of an airline recruiter, but it does not guarantee an interview or a permanent job. Meet the 65 % average, have a valid ID, and submit a brief CV before 21 August 2026. If you received the invitation through the UJ or University of Pretoria career fair, follow the steps above. Keep looking for other graduate programmes while you wait, and stay ready to respond if FlySafair contacts you.
