Following the announcement that Flybe has gone into administration, Bristol Airport has shared a list of vacancies for those about to lose their jobs. The British airline announced late last week that it had entered administration and would cease operations, a little under a year since it had restarted business.
The announcement comes for the second time for Flybe, which first went into administration back in March 2020. It was one of the first to go out of business during the initial stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.
On Twitter yesterday, Bristol Airport said: "We are saddened to hear the news of Flybe going into administration. Our thoughts go out to colleagues of Flybe and all of their customers that have been affected."

It went on to share a list of current job vacancies at the airport, saying: "For colleagues who have been impacted, we currently have various roles available." They include customer service, engineering, retail and ground handling, among others.
We've picked out some interesting ones below. But you can find the full list, which is updated regularly, on the Bristol Airport website here.
