More than 1,500 jobs will be on offer at a Manchester Airport jobs fair in February.

The airport hired more than 700 new employees last year and says it needs more workers to deal with a spike in demand for travel in 2023.

Attendees at the jobs fair will get the chance to engage directly with employers and learn more about what employers are looking for from applicants, boosting their chances of securing employment at the airport.

The fair will be held at the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce’s Elliot Suite in Deansgate.

Chris Woodroofe, managing director at Manchester Airport, said: “This is always an exciting time of year for us, as we look to welcome new colleagues on board ahead of the busy summer season.

“We are also pleased to be supporting our partners, like airlines, handling agents and retailers, as they look to strengthen their own teams in preparation. There is a wide range of opportunities available and I look forward to meeting the successful job-seekers out-and-about at the airport, following on from this event.”
