Airports Jobs worth considering in London
For many people the opportunity to work at the airport is an attractive one due to the glamorous associations that many of us have with them. For those of us who don’t work at the airport it is a place we associate with flying away on holiday or visiting friends and family, and also a place where we can experience the wonder of the airplane. These factors encourage many people to seek jobs in and around the airport and below are some of the options open to them.
Pilot - reach for the stars
This is probably the most glamorous job associated with the airport. There are not many people who can say that they have been in control of a metal machine which flies thousands of feet in the air and caries people. This affords the pilot a certain stigma and social status which is difficult to match. It might seem a far fetched goal but with a friend who recently started flying for British Airways, it is without question possible.
Check in Agent
For those who love the buzz of the airport and enjoy interacting with people this is the perfect role. It is the role of the check in agent to ensure that each passenger is checked onto the plane successfully and that their baggage joins them there.
Retail Outlet in Heathrow, Stansted or Gatwick
With hours to wait before flights many people take the opportunity to take advantage of the many retail opportunities at the airport. Whether you work for an existing company or start your own, there is money to be made in this sector.
Air Traffic Controller
This is one of the most important roles at the airport as it ensures that air traffic moves safely and efficiently. Not only is the Air Traffic Controller in control of great deals of money, but also the lives of the people on the plane.
