Over 100 More Jobs To Be Created At Belfast International Airport
A further 115 jobs are to be created at Belfast International Airport.
The jobs, which are being created by six firms, include 85 full-time positions and 30 part-time posts.
Belfast International Airport director of commercial development Brian Carlin said: "These jobs have little or no lead-in times. There's a need for them now as we prepare for a bumper year with hundreds of thousands more passengers.
"Right across the board, we're seeing welcome growth. Airlines and airports generate jobs and new business opportunities at little or no cost to the taxpayer."
The jobs are across a wide cross-section of aviation support activities including on-site food outlets, taxi operations and private charter services.
Sinn Féin Chairperson Declan Kearney said: "The latest announcement of 115 new jobs across a range of businesses at Belfast International Airport is a sign of confidence in the airport.
"This brings the total number of jobs created at the airport to just under 300 over the past few months.
"The jobs will add to the economic fortunes of the area as spending power is increased.
"However I believe that the full potential of the airport has not yet been reached and more can be done to attract more airlines into the International Airport and create more employment at the site."
