Airlines announce new jobs

AFTER five years of cutting staff numbers to promote its competitiveness, Aer Lingus has announced an expansion of its global service with the creation of 400 new jobs.

The airline, currently in a battle with trade unions over cost-cutting measures, has already started generating the jobs.

“We are going to be taking on about 400 cabin crew and pilots this year,” said commercial director Enda Corneille.
