Mark Beveridge, Managing Director of Glasgow Airport, said: “We look forward to welcoming passengers to Glasgow Airport in 2025.

 “To ensure that the airport community is sufficiently resourced to meet our passenger’s needs over the peak periods, such as the spring and summer school holidays. Our jobs fair plays a key role in allowing the many organisations that play a vital part in supporting the airport, to have the opportunity to meet, connect and hire staff to support the demands of a busy operation.

 “Glasgow Airport is a fantastic place to work with a wide range of roles for many different skill sets.

 “Anyone interest in a career in aviation, retail, customer service or security I would encourage to head along to the jobs fair next week to see what opportunities are available.”

Representatives from Invest in Renfrewshire and Jobcentre Plus staff will also be present to offer support and advice, while translators will also be on hand to support Polish, Romanian and Ukrainian jobseekers.

Given the security requirements involved in working at an airport, many of the roles on offer will require a full five-year checkable history. Several organisations will also be interviewing on the day.

Free parking in the Terminal’s Multi-Storey car park will be available on the day only to those who register in advance to attend the job fair and will be validated on departure.
