Alternative Airlines Launches New Employee Benefits Package

04/08/22 – High-growth flight search and booking platform Alternative Airlines – which has its UK office close to Gatwick Airport, Horley – has launched an exciting and generous new employee benefits package, including flight credits up to £1,000, wellness days and sabbaticals. 

The company has launched its new employee benefits package to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of its team, as well as attract new talent to underpin its future growth.

A distinguishing highlight of the employee benefits package is the generous flight credit for each employee. The package also recognises staff loyalty with rewards for length of service and reflects the company’s dedication to employee wellness, with additional days a year to focus on mental and physical wellbeing.

Highlights of the package include:

• Up to £1,000 flight credit per year based on length of service, which can be used to book any flight on alternativeairlines.com 
• 2 additional wellness days a year 
• A 2 week sabbatical opportunity for every 5 years of service

Shelley Tasker, Head of Operations and People at Alternative Airlines, commented: “We’re very proud to have launched our new employee benefits. Our entire team is integral to all that Alternative Airlines continues to achieve and we wanted to celebrate this with a unique and special benefits package. This includes the gift of travel, with generous flight credit for each employee. It was also important to us that the new package aligns with our dedication to the wellness of our staff, with an emphasis on mental and physical health. From additional wellness days to surprises through the post, we want everyone to continue to feel supported and appreciated.” 

Sam Argyle, Managing Director at Alternative Airlines, commented: “Company perks are normally boring and vanilla. I’m really proud of our Alternative Airlines Senior Management Team who created this new employee benefits package. It’s fun, travel focused and different. We want all our employees to be healthy, travel often and have a comfortable work / life balance. We also want to make working for Alternative Airlines as attractive and exciting as possible as we recruit across our business.” 

The new benefits package represents Alternative Airlines’ continued development as a company. Alternative Airlines has seen explosive growth of 611% from £9m revenue in 2020 to its projected total of £64m in 2022, and plans to double in size from 70 current employees to 150 over the next 12 months. To support the next stage of the company’s growth, Alternative Airlines continues to recruit across all areas of its business – including tech (engineering, product and design), customer service, marketing, finance and commercial.  

Sam continued: “This is a very exciting time for our business. Our team are experts in their fields, using their knowledge and passion to build and utilise the latest technology to help us transform the way that travellers globally book flights online. And we’re on the lookout to expand our team further, to help us drive the next stage of our growth.”
