Known as the gateway to the North of England, Manchester Airport is hosting a jobs fair on 10 February to highlight the hundreds of employment opportunities available at the northern hub.
The airport is looking to recruit more than 500 staff in passenger security roles alone, while other vacancies are available in areas including customer service, car parking and hospitality.
Cath Bailey, Chief People Officer, Manchester Aiports Group, said: “We’re really pleased to be holding this jobs Fair to give as many people as possible access to the wide range of amazing opportunities we have on offer.
“With travel restrictions having been eased, we are expecting customer demand to bounce back very quickly and are recruiting ahead of what we hope will be a busy summer.”
Airlines, ground handlers, aviation contractors and service providers attending the fair and looking to take on new recruits will include the likes of Jet2.com, Swissport, dnata, Stobart Aviation, ABM, Menzies and the UK Border Force. Retail operators such as SSP, DUFRY and HMSHost are also attending alongside brands such as Costa Coffee, Caffè Nero, WHSmith and Travelex.
Bailey added: “If you have strong people skills, are self-motivated and have the ambition to build an exciting career in aviation, an airport job could be perfect for you – it’s a place that offers endless variety, bags of opportunity and a brilliant team who’ll support you all the way.”
Pre-pandemic, Manchester Airport was the UK’s third busiest air transport hub and flew nearly 30 million passengers annually to more than 210 destinations around the world.
