The fourth edition of the Aviato Jobfair is being organised at Brussels Airport on Tuesday, in collaboration with Brussels Airport Company, the VDAB, Actiris, Voka Vlaams-Brabant and POM Vlaams-Brabant.
Job seekers, students and anyone looking for a new challenge are invited to discover a wide range of professional opportunities at Brussels Airport and the area around. In addition to the 400 vacancies at the airport, hundreds of jobs are also available in other sectors.
"During this job event, you will have the chance to get in touch with numerous companies, both from Brussels Airport and beyond," said Aviato.
Brussels Airport remains a powerful ecosystem and a major economic driver for Belgium, with an impact that transcends the boundaries of the airport, the company said. This translates into 30,000 direct jobs, 55,000 indirect jobs, 335 companies, 18 sectors and an average of 400 vacancies.
Greater flow of visitors
The participation of non-airport companies in the Aviato Jobfair highlights the strategic importance of the airport as a meeting place for talent, a convergence of sectors and a catalyst for the region's economic growth.
Additionally, the organiser wants to strengthen inter-regional job mobility, and this approach is clearly bearing fruit. The recent HIVA study (2022) shows that 20% of workers at Brussels Airport come from the Brussels-Capital Region and 11% from Wallonia.
Aviato continues to actively appeal to these target groups to consider a career at the airport. Many job seekers do not immediately think of the Flemish periphery for a job, while employers there often do not automatically look to Brussels or Wallonia for new talent.
"In cooperation with VDAB, Actiris and Le Forem, we are ensuring broad communication about this event to achieve an even greater flow of visitors," said Isabelle Borli, General Manager Aviato.
