After more than two years of corona-related dry spells, Salzburg Airport has a completely different problem: there are not enough staff. There is a lack of employees in almost all operational areas, which is why people are desperately looking for newcomers.
According to reports, some employees have resigned themselves due to the short-time work and have reoriented themselves in other companies. However, that alone should not be the root cause of the staff shortage, but rather that many long-standing employees have entered their well-deserved retirement and interest in the advertised positions is obviously kept within narrow limits. The fact that airport boss Bettina Ganghofer repeatedly helped out in the lounge.
It can also be heard from other European airports that they receive significantly fewer applications for advertised positions. Before the corona pandemic, jobs in the aviation industry were very popular, but apparently not anymore. Salzburg is now trying to aggressively draw attention to the vacancies via social media channels.
On April 22, 2022, an applicant day was also held. Anyone who missed it or only found out about it today has the same chance of coming to Terminal 28 of Salzburg Airport on April 2022, 2. There are vacancies in almost every area of the company. If you wish, you can also take on some jobs as a seasonal worker, which could be an interesting option for the summer, especially for employees in winter sports.
