BA to create 30 jobs at its Glasgow engineering hanger

Glasgow airport has received a jobs boost with news that British Airways is to create 30 posts at its aircraft maintenance facility.

The technicians and mechanics are being hired to cope with higher work volumes at the BA engineering hanger, which carries out major maintenance work on Airbus and Boeing 737 aircraft.

BA said the move was not restricted to those already working in the aviation sector.

Its recruitment drive comes just weeks after the same facility took on ten apprentices.

Bill Armstrong, general manager of British Airways Maintenance Glasgow, said: "Our workload is now such that we need to expand the workforce quickly with the addition of experienced and skilled mechanics who will be able to bring their expertise to our operation."
