More than 2,000 people signed up for a job fair at Toronto Pearson Airport after COVID-19 disrupted the travel sector for nearly three years.
“The aviation industry has been hit hard by the pandemic, but travel is back and the industry is booming, and you can’t fly without boots on the ground or in the air,” the Toronto Airport Authority (GTAA) said Tuesday. At the conference, he said:
