EIGHT companies have more than 125 new jobs on offer at a major job fair in the Valley Leisure Centre next week.

The bulk of the jobs – eighty in total - are split evenly between aircraft ground handling company, Swissport and international security firm, ICTS.

Retail, currency, food and drink outlets and the airport itself account for the remainder of the jobs.

The job fair is the second to be help in North Belfast in four months.

Belfast International Airport human resources manager, Jaclyn Coulter, said passenger growth lay behind this latest workforce expansion.

“This is the fifth Job Fair we have organised and the response has been phenomenal. Once our companies fill these latest positions, it will bring to more than 700 the total number of jobs created in the past two years."

The job fair takes place on Thursday February 22 from 4pm until 7pm.
