Newcastle Airport is gearing up for its busiest year ever.
The airport plans to recruit more than 100 new team members as it prepares to welcome a record six million passengers in what it expects to be its highest-ever year of passenger numbers.
The hiring drive spans a wide range of roles, including security officers, passenger service assistants, airside operations, cleaners and car park operatives.
Lynn Perry, chief people officer at Newcastle Airport, said: "2026 is going to be a special year for Newcastle Airport as we get ready to welcome a record six million passengers.
"To meet the strong customer demand and ensure we continue to deliver exceptional services, we are investing in our people and growing our teams with a wide variety of roles available that suit many different skill sets and experience levels.
"Newcastle Airport is a fantastic place to work and I would encourage anyone looking for work or interested in a career change to keep an eye on our website and social media channels over the coming weeks and months as the roles are advertised."
The airport currently employs around 3,200 people on-site and supports more than 17,000 jobs through its supply chain.
The new roles include both seasonal and permanent opportunities, with part-time and full-time positions available to suit a range of backgrounds and experience levels.
Positions on offer include Seasonal Passenger Service Assistants, Seasonal Security Officers, Airside Operations Controller, and Operations Support Assistant.
The recruitment comes as the airport launches its largest ever flight schedule this year, offering direct services to over 80 destinations and more than 300 onward connections worldwide.
New routes include Lisbon, Nice, Porto, Palermo (Sicily), and Preveza, with easyJet set to open its new base at the airport in March.
Almost £60m is being invested across the Airport site, including extending the terminal to create a larger departure lounge and an expanded international arrivals baggage hall.
A spokesperson said: "The Airport also recorded a number of exceptionally high scores in a recent staff survey, with employees recognising it as an enjoyable place to work and valuing the positive impact their work makes in the community."
