There are a variety of roles available, such as apprenticeships and entry-level positions, and more technical roles in areas such as airfield operations, driving and engineering.

Some vacancies have already been added to the Heathrow Academy website – including positions in Border Force and Heathrow security – with further positions due to go live in the coming months.

Heathrow chief people officer Paula Stannett said a job at the airport is an "opportunity to work at one of the most exciting and dynamic places in the country".

"We can’t wait to welcome more passengers back this summer," she added. "To get ready, we’re building our team of dedicated colleagues who love making a difference to our passengers every day."

According to Heathrow, passenger numbers for 2022 are estimated to be just over half of 2019’s record-breaking 81 million passengers.
