Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) has already welcomed more than one million passengers through its doors this year as the travel industry continues to face huge demand.
But the airport has had to deal with furious backlash from unhappy customers forced to wait in snaking queues in the past months and numerous flights have been cancelled or delayed. So it is perhaps no surprise that the airport is looking to take on plenty of new staff.
LBA says it is "an exciting time to join" its ranks as passenger numbers continue to increase. Below is a roundup of all the jobs currently up for grabs at the airport in Yeadon including details on how to apply.
