MANCHESTER Airport has received more than 8,000 job applications and in the last month hired nearly 800 new recruits to bolster its workforce in a bid to cut queues as passenger numbers surge.
The urgent recruitment drive has taken place amid a chaotic period for the hub, with passengers left feeling the pain of its staff shortages in check-in, security, and passport control.
But hub bosses say they are now on the road to recovery ahead of the summer months, with more than 1,600 applicants having applied for jobs at the airport in April alone, 60 recruits already on the floor, and 500 new starters currently going through vetting and security training.
