Newcastle Airport has added extra spaces for its highly anticipated Careers Fair due to strong demand from the public.
The award-winning Airport is gearing up for its best year on record with its 17 airline partners offering direct flights to over 80 destinations and more than 300 one-stop connections worldwide, with more than 5 million passengers expected.
As one of the largest employers in the North East, the Airport has a diverse range of roles in the business, from frontline customer service and airfield operations to engineering and security, providing career opportunities for people of all skills and backgrounds.

Alongside its business partners, the Airport is now looking to expand its team and will be hosting a Careers Fair at St James’ Park on Wednesday 29th January, in collaboration with the Newcastle United Foundation.
More than 500 jobs will be available across the Airport site, including entry-level, team leader and managerial positions, as well as part-time and full-time roles, including security officers, passenger services assistants, car park operatives, warehouse assistants and airside operations roles.
Jet2.com, Boots, WHSmith, Dnata, Europcar, World Duty Free, SSP, Unifi, Kuehne+Nagel and Aspire will also be in attendance to recruit for a range of positions, including passenger check-in officers and hospitality and retail staff.
