Baggage Systems Operative

Manchester Airport:
Every year, Manchester Airport connects over 27 million passengers with more than 200 destinations across the globe. As the third largest airport in the UK, Manchester is also in the top 20 airports in Europe.
Part of the largest UK owned airport operator group, MAG, Manchester Airport supports over 19,000 jobs onsite and generates around £7.75bn each year for the region.
Despite the vast scale of the operations, Manchester is a community with people at its heart: customer service is what we do. In enabling air travel, we help families, businesses and cargo connect around the world. As part of a vibrant team, everyone contributes to keeping people safe and comfortable as they use our airport.
In 2021, Manchester Airport marked a major milestone in its 83-year history when we opened the iconic Terminal Two extension, the centrepiece of our £1bn transformation programme. We still have a few years of further construction work to go, but once completed Manchester Airport will be a facility which competes on a world stage!
As an employer our airport offers real camaraderie, exceptional training and a wealth of long-term career opportunities. If you’re looking for a rewarding career that will give you huge scope to make an impact and explore your potential to the full: Manchester is an airport that’s going places.
Join MAG and make the journey.
