Leeds-based Jet2 set to create 100 Midlands jobs

Airline Jet2.com is to create 100 jobs East Midlands Airport after it announced it is to take all ramp-handling services, which were previously operated by Menzies, in-house.

The move means that 100 jobs are now available to fill for ramp agent, baggage loader and dispatch positions for Summer 2017.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “We have continued to grow since starting operations from East Midlands Airport in 2009, with this summer representing our biggest ever flights and holidays programme.

“To support this and to provide Jet2.com and Jet2holidays customers with the best possible experience, we are investing significantly into our operation ahead of the summer season.

“This will enable us to build on our award-winning service and deliver an even better end-to-end customer experience for our customers at East Midlands Airport.”
