More than 25 other firms with operations at the airport will also be taking part in the jobs fair. They include Boots, Costa Coffee, JD Sports, Wagamama and Jet2.

The jobs fair event will take place 10am to 2pm in the chamber’s Elliot Suite at its Deansgate base in the city centre.

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."

The event comes after Manchester Airport revealed a £440m plan to complete its transformation.
