 Coventry Airport has big expansion plans |
Coventry Airport says its operations have created almost 370 new jobs for the region, approximately 70% of which are from Coventry and Warwickshire. Another expansion plan has led to a flood of applications and inquiries from local jobseekers.
The launch of low-cost flights in March has provided opportunities from check-in staff to firefighters and caterers to car park staff, the airport says.
Annette Fitzgerald from the Chamber of Commerce says it is "great news".
Low-cost operator Thomsonfly launched services from Coventry to Jersey, Malaga, Rome, Valencia and Venice.
The airport said it has plans for further expansion.
