Ryanair has said it will create more than 1,000 jobs across Europe this year to meet growing demand for its flights.

"Ryanair today confirmed that it will create over 1,000 new jobs in 2012 for pilots, cabin crew, engineers and sales/marketing people, as Ryanair's fleet will grow from 270 to 305 aircraft," the group said in a statement.

The Dublin-based airline added that it expected its traffic to grow to 80 million passengers this year from 76 million passengers in 2011.

None of the jobs will be created in Ireland.
