Airport in recruitment drive

London City Airport (LCY) has hosted a recruitment drive and local business recovery events.

The airport welcomed almost 150 attendees to its first jobs fair since the pandemic began, to showcase current employment opportunities, with nearly one in three attendees applying for live vacancies.  Other airport partners, such as Swissport, British Airways CityFlyer, Pret A Manger and Truman’s also promoted job vacancies at the event.

LCY, in partnership with UMi and Newham Council also sponsored the Royal Docks Business Recovery event, providing procurement support to local businesses, ahead of the airport’s Meet the Buyer event to be held later this year.

Michael Spiers, LCY’s Chief People Officer, said: “We were delighted to host this series of events and work closely with our local community, as we start to recover.

“With Covid-19 restrictions relaxed, the airport is now entering an exciting phase and our recruitment drive is testament to our (and our airport partners’) confidence in renewed growth”.

Lucy Craven, LCY’s Head of Corporate Affairs, spoke at the Business Recovery event, setting out the airport’s expected passenger growth through 2022 and how the business wants to recover in a supportive and sustainable way for local businesses.
