More than 100 new jobs are up for grabs when Belfast International Airport hosts a recruitment fair at Belfast’s Gasworks Hotel (formerly Radisson Blu) on Saturday January 20 from 11am to 3pm.

Teams from the airport and associated partner companies including Swissport, Mount Charles, Airport Taxi company and Wilson James will be on hand to guide attendees through the application process as well discuss salaries and related company benefits.

A range of full time, part time and seasonal roles are available, and positions on offer include ground handling, security, retail, driving and catering.

The roles will feed into major long-term investment plans currently under way at Belfast International Airport, a member of the Vinci Airports network, with phase one of a new security terminal due to be operational by this summer.

The airport has begun the year by announcing 11 new routes with its airline partners EasyJet, Ryanair, and TUI, which will offer passengers a variety of travel options to 70 destinations across the UK and Europe.

Jaclyn Coulter, human resources manager at the airport, says; “There are a wide variety of roles available with attractive salaries and benefits and many are also flexible to suit lifestyle and other family commitments.

“The airport offers an exciting work environment and there are plenty of options to carve out a long-term career path within the travel and aviation sector. With the current investment programme underway, it’s a really exciting time to join our team and come along on this journey.

“I would encourage anyone who has interest in this sector or keen to change their current career path to come along. You will get to experience what we can offer, get a feel for the workplace culture, and contribute to future growth.”
