Bristol Airport is hosting a "major recruitment drive" next month to prepare for an increase in passenger numbers over the summer season. It comes after staffing shortages were partly blamed for large queues at the departures terminal in the past few weeks.
The event will be held in Lulsgate House at Bristol Airport on Thursday, June 9 between 11am and 2pm with more than 50 employers offering job opportunities in areas such as customer service, hospitality, retail, airline handling and security. The jobs fair will also provide an insight into seasonal roles, which are ideal for students or those who just want a taster of working at the airport.
Debbie Hartshorn, people director at Bristol Airport said that the aviation industry, like many others, "is facing a challenging recruitment market". She added: "We are experiencing a fantastic recovery for the Airport having already seen a large increase in passenger numbers over the Easter period and the summer season is predicted to be even busier."
