FlySafair is creating a graduate talent pool for 2026, so you can be on the airline’s shortlist for future jobs. The deadline is 21 August 2026, so act now if you meet the criteria.
What the opportunity is
FlySafair wants to build a reserve of high‑performing final‑year, Honours and Master’s students. The listing is not a guaranteed job; it is a pool of candidates that the airline may call on when a vacancy appears. The role is classified as Student/Graduate, permanent in type, with remuneration described as “market‑related”.
Who can apply
All applicants must meet the following conditions:
- Be in the final year of a bachelor’s degree, or completing an Honours or Master’s programme.
- Have an academic average of 65 % or higher in the most recent results.
- Hold a valid South African ID document.
- Submit a brief, up‑to‑date curriculum vitae.
- Be a South African citizen.
No specific field of study is required – any discipline is eligible as long as you can show the above.
What you gain
Being in the talent pool can give you early visibility with FlySafair. If a position opens, you may be contacted before the public advert is posted. You also get to demonstrate your suitability for work in a fast‑paced aviation environment that values:
- Organisation and attention to detail
- Teamwork and communication
- Reliability, punctuality and integrity
- Self‑motivation and a results‑driven attitude
The salary will be market related, but no specific figure is disclosed.
How to apply (step‑by‑step)
- Visit the official FlySafair recruitment portal: FlySafair online recruitment portal.
- Log in or create an account.
- Enter your personal details, ensuring the South African ID number is correct.
- Upload a concise CV (no more than two pages) that includes your qualification, expected completion date, latest average and any relevant projects or work exposure.
- Confirm that you meet the 65 % average requirement.
- Submit the application before 21 August 2026.
Do not email your application; only the online system is accepted.
Tips to improve your chances
- Make your latest results easy to read – include the percentage and year of study.
- Keep the CV short and focused on achievements, leadership roles, group projects, internships or volunteer work.
- Highlight examples of meeting deadlines, managing multiple tasks or leading a team.
- Proofread for spelling and formatting – a clean document shows attention to detail.
- Be aware of the career‑fair wording: the vacancy title mentions the “UJ STEMS Career Day”, but the guidelines say it is for the “University of Pretoria Career Fair 2026”. If you did not receive the invitation through the relevant fair, verify your eligibility before applying.
- Remember that the talent‑pool approach can lead to delayed responses; continue applying for other graduate programmes while you wait.
Conclusion and next steps
If you are a final‑year, Honours or Master’s student with at least a 65 % average, this is a timely chance to get on FlySafair’s radar for future roles. Prepare your short CV, double‑check your ID details and submit before the 21 August 2026 deadline via the official portal.
While waiting, keep exploring other graduate opportunities and build your professional network. Good luck!
