Ryanair Holdings Plc will offer direct employment to some German pilots currently working under contract, as a recruitment specialist ends its services for the discount carrier in the country.

“Ryanair has now begun the process of offering these contractors direct employment,” the Irish airline said in an email after U.K.-based McGinley Aviation wrote to air crew confirming its withdrawal in a letter obtained by Bloomberg News.
