The opening of the Glasgow Airport Jobs Fair 2026
Glasgow Airport welcomed more than 1,000 jobseekers on Wednesday 28 January 2026 as it hosted its annual Jobs Fair.
Held on the first floor of the main terminal, the event was ticketed-only for the first time with a high calibre of potential new employees turning up.
Glasgow Airport brought together over 30 employers from across the airport campus and associated sectors, including security, retail, facilities management, catering, ground handling and transportation.
Attendees had the opportunity to explore more than 500 full-time, part-time and seasonal roles, with recruitment teams on hand to provide insights into the wide range of positions available ahead of the busy summer season.
