Andrew Cowan, CEO of Manchester Airport, said: “As we gear up for our busiest ever summer, we’re looking forward to discussing the job opportunities available with people from a wide range of backgrounds from across the region.

“The airport is a huge source of employment and as we continue to grow, so will the number of employment and training opportunities available.
