115 jobs are being created by six businesses at Belfast International Airport.
The jobs include 85 full-time positions and 30 part-time posts.
Brian Carlin, director of commercial development, Belfast International Airport, commented: “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.”
He continued: “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.
It brings the total number of new jobs announced at the airport in the past two months to 298.
