Glasgow Airport will host its annual job fair next week with more than 500 roles up for grabs.

Scheduled for January 17, the event will have more than 35 employers showcasing a range of job opportunities across the airport - from security and retail, to facilities management and catering.

Ronald Leitch, interim chief operating officer of AGS Airports, said: "As we enter the new year and the aviation industry continues grow from strength to strength, we anticipate that Glasgow Airport will welcome well over 8.5 million passengers 2024.

"More than two thirds of these passengers will travel during our peak periods such as the spring and summer school holiday breaks, so the jobs fair will play a key role in ensuring we have staff in place across the many organisations that play a vital role in supporting the airport operation.

"I would encourage those interested in a career in aviation, retail, customer services, aircraft turnaround and security to head along to the jobs fair next week."
