Jobs on offer as Stansted Airport's post-Covid recovery continues

Traffic at Stansted Airport bounced back to 94% of pre-Covid-19 pandemic levels during January when 1.82m passengers passed through the terminal.

The total was up 173% on the same month in 2022 and there were 24.4m travellers in the previous 12 months – up 217% on the previous year.

Operational performance in January also remained strong, with 99% of departing passengers passing through security in 15 minutes or less.

Managing director Gareth Powell said: "I'm really pleased the team here at London Stansted delivered yet another strong passenger performance in January, achieving 94% of passenger volumes for the same month pre-pandemic, and building on the positive growth we experience last year after travel restrictions we lifted.

"I'm equally delighted we continue to provide a smooth and efficient security operation for our passengers, which we aim to maintain as we welcome many more passengers this week as they head off on half-term breaks, and as we build up to the peak summer months.

"To meet rising passenger demand, we are recruiting even more colleagues to join our teams, as are many of our business partners across the airport.

"Last week's jobs fair proved to be a huge success, attracting hundreds of eager job seekers, so our plans to offer the best passenger experience and service as we continue to bounce back are well on track."
