A jobs fair in March 2026 will highlight the wide range of careers available at Manchester Airport in the aviation sector, as well as opportunities in retail and hospitality.
The free event at The Forum, Wythenshawe, on 3rd March will link jobseekers with more than 20 leading employers operating at the airport.
Manchester Airports Group (MAG), which owns and operates Manchester Airport as well as East Midlands and London Stansted Airports, is advertising a range of vacancies in areas like airport security, lounge hospitality and terminal operations. Other roles on offer with third-party employers based at the airport range from airline support and check?in to airside operations, logistics and ground handling, retail, and special assistance services for passengers with restricted mobility.
Employers who will be represented at the fair include:
- Airlines and travel companies, including Jet2.com and Jet2holidays
- Retailers and franchise operators, including Boots, Costa Coffee, JD Wetherspoon, WHSmith, Pasta Evangelists, Monsoon, HMSHost SSP and World Duty Free.
- Airport service providers, including PrimeFlight, 36T HUB, Mitie, Swissport and ABM.
The Airport Academy, which is run in partnership by Manchester Airport and Trafford & Stockport College Group, will be in attendance promoting its free pre-employment support programmes. These include fully accredited training schemes for those who are on Jobseekers’ Allowance and require additional support before applying for the jobs.
The jobs fair will take place between 10am and 2pm on Tuesday 3 March. Entry to the event must be booked in advance through Eventbrite, via this link.
Tina Edwards, People Director at Manchester Airport, said:
“We’re proud to serve the North – not just by flying people to the places they want to travel to, but by helping local people find their way into rewarding and fulfilling careers.
“The airport directly employs more than 3,400 people and indirectly supports almost 20,000 jobs, so we’re a major contributor to the local economy and our ambitious growth plans mean we’re always looking for more talented people to join our teams. The same is true of our fantastic partners who are represented at this jobs fair.
“It’s an exciting time to be embarking on a career at Manchester Airport as our £1.3bn, decade-long expansion programme wraps up this year, giving us the platform to realise our potential as a truly global hub.”
