The recruitment drive supports the airport’s £100 million investment programme. Phase one — comprising a new security building, arrivals exit hall and enhanced duty-free experience — has now been completed. The next phase will focus on the airside Departures area, transforming the food and beverage offering and introducing a broader range of outlets to better serve passengers.

Jaclyn Coulter, human resources manager at Belfast International Airport said: “In order to support our wider transformation programme, our airport partners are looking for a wide variety of roles available with attractive salaries and benefits.

"The airport offers an exciting work environment and there are plenty of options to carve out a long-term career path within the travel and aviation sector.”
