Airbus has announced plans to take on 6,000 extra staff over 2022
The hiring drive will take place worldwide with sites at Broughton and Filton expected to benefit.
The aerospace giant was forced to cut the workforce when the pandemic hit as production levels were slashed.
Broughton saw its staff numbers fall from around 6,000 to just over 4,000.
The recruitment drive is in response to strong signs of recovery post-COVID in the aerospace industry, and linked to the group’s plans to prepare the future of aviation and implement its roadmap for decarbonisation.
