175 jobs available at East Midlands Airport as 'game-changing' travel rules announced

East Midlands Airport is recruiting for 175 jobs which are available around the site.

Three million passengers are predicted to use the airport this year as consumer confidence is expected to build following a relaxation of travel restrictions announced on Monday, January 24.

EMA says filling vacant security officer roles is the airport’s "immediate priority" as new starters need to undergo compliance training, while other vacancies will be advertised in the coming weeks.

The available jobs are in its security, car parks and passenger services teams.

EMA will be holding a virtual jobs fair on Tuesday, February 1, from 10am until 1pm.

Dave Gale, airport academy coordinator, said: “The virtual jobs fair is a great opportunity to ask questions about the roles we’re recruiting to, and to find out what it’s like to be part of the team here.

"I would encourage anyone who likes the buzz of fast-paced, customer-focused working environment to check us out. Having done 44 years of service at EMA myself, I’ve had one of the most rewarding careers imaginable.

"I’ve loved every minute of my time here and I would thoroughly recommend working at the airport to anyone who is looking for a fulfilling a rewarding role.”

The virtual jobs fair will allow people to find out more about what it’s like to work at EMA. Airport colleagues will be joined by representatives of other organisations based across the airport site who are also recruiting.

Benefits include free parking at the site, discounts and savings, a pension scheme and career growth scheme.

In the latest travel update from the Government, fully vaccinated customers will no longer have to take a Day Two lateral flow test after arriving in the UK from 4am on February 11.

Passenger Locator Forms will also be simplified, with travel rules also easing for arrivals who are not fully vaccinated.

Airline Jet2 has has called the move a ‘game-changer’ for customers and the travel industry.
