More than 2,000 people registered for a job fair at Toronto Pearson Airport following nearly three years of turbulence in the travel sector brought on by COVID-19.

“The air industry was hit hard by the pandemic, but travel is back and the industry is roaring back and we can’t fly without boots on the ground and in the sky,” Karen Mazurkewich, Vice President, Stakeholder Relations and Communications, Greater Toronto Airports Authority , said at a news conference Tuesday.

“This is an incredible industry to be in and this job fair is just a small window on the size of this dynamic economic zone here in the GTA.” Jobs up for grabs at Canada’s busiest airport include roles in customer service and hospitality, as well as security and baggage handling. Tuesday’s job fair, which saw registrations top 2,300, looks to fill the spots laid bare in the last three years to set the airport up for future success.

Accompanying the mass-hiring event, which was funded by Ontario’s Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development, is a new job portal and pilot project, which Mazurkewich said will fast-track security clearances for employees who need them.Gurvinder Singh is one of the many prospective employees at Tuesday’s fair and said he will take any work he can get.“I don’t have any preference. Anything that I find suitable for me, I will go for that,” Singh told CP24.

Porter reveals new jets, routes set to depart from Toronto Pearson Airport this weekPorter Airlines will soon offer flights out of Toronto Pearson International Airport to a number of destinations on a fleet of new jets offering an 'elevated' economy experience. How does it even make sense that Porter airlines get to add more flights? Are they not aware of the climate crisis? Are they profiting that much that they can just willfully purchase carbon credits from anywhere? Great News The more competition The Better. Yeah I look forward to not doing that!
