400 jobs at Luton Airport as Covid recovery continues

London Luton Airport (LTN/EGGW) is recruiting for 400 new roles across the airport as the post-pandemic recovery continues.

The news comes as the UK Government announces an end to all Covid travel restrictions ahead of the Easter holidays.

A host of roles from all areas of the airport are being recruited including Security Officers, firefighters, hospitality and retail staff.

Other jobs include the new Direct Air-Rail Transit (DART) system which will link the airport terminal to Luton Airport Parkway Station.

Alberto Martin, CEO of LLA, said: “We are confident that demand for air travel is returning given the busy half term period, and will only increase further with the relaxation of the final travel restrictions at the end of this week. Though reaching our pre-pandemic figures will be tough, flying to the UK is now as easy as it was before, removing a key barrier to booking for many passengers. Hiring key staff will be essential to accommodate this anticipated uplift, and we look forward to recruiting ahead of what we know will be a busy summer season.”

The airport presented encouraging figures for February 2022 which saw over 600,000 passengers pass through to the airport.
