Retail partners will also be in attendance to showcase roles at outlets including Wagamama, Spar, Costa, WHSmith, Boots and KFC.

The airport said attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with employers, which will “boost their chances of securing employment”.

Managing director Chris Woodroofe said: “After a busy summer where we have flown more than 2.7 million people off on their holidays, it is great to now be focusing on the months ahead with this job fair.

“We’re committed to ensuring that our neighbouring communities share in the benefits of having a major international airport nearby, so it is particularly pleasing to host this jobs fair on our doorstep in Wythenshawe.

“There are a wide range of jobs available, both with Manchester airport and its partners, and I very much look forward to welcoming all successful candidates when they start their career journey here.”

MP for Wythenshawe and Sale East Mike Kane added: “Aviation is an exciting sector to work in and I’m pleased that my constituents will be part of the team supporting the airport in its recovery after the pandemic.”
