Manchester Airport Group

About Manchester Airport Group

At MAG, we’re here to help people connect with the world — and everything we do starts with the experience we create. As the UK’s largest British owned airport operator, we welcome over 60 million passengers every year across Manchester Airport, London Stansted Airport and East Midlands Airport, connecting people, businesses and cargo to more than 270 global destinations.

Behind every journey is a team of people working together to keep our airports safe, efficient and welcoming. From the terminal floor to behind the scenes innovation, every role at MAG plays a part in shaping journeys that matter.

Our Early Careers Programmes

Just like the travellers who pass through our airports, we’re on a journey too — and we offer a range of early careers opportunities to help you start yours, whatever stage you’re at.

Apprenticeships

Our apprenticeships allow you to earn while you learn, combining hands on experience with recognised qualifications. You’ll be part of a supportive team, gaining real responsibility from day one and developing skills that set you up for a long term career.

Ideal for: School leavers, career starters and those looking for an alternative to university.

Graduate Roles

Our graduate roles are designed to help you build confidence, capability and impact early in your career. You’ll take ownership of work that matters, supported by development opportunities and exposure across the business.

Ideal for: Final year students and recent graduates ready to step into professional roles.

What Makes Us Stand Out?

Safety with Purpose

Safety sits at the heart of everything we do. Every colleague — including those early in their careers — plays a meaningful role in protecting passengers and supporting the journeys of families, businesses and communities across the world.

Ambition for the Future

We’re investing in the infrastructure that will power our growth, improving the customer experience and finding smarter, more collaborative ways of working. Early careers colleagues are encouraged to bring fresh ideas and be part of that change.

A Supportive, Inclusive Culture

We take pride in the impact we make and support one another as we deliver it. At MAG, you’ll find a culture that values teamwork, learning and inclusion — where you’re encouraged to be yourself and grow at your own pace.

Opportunities Across Three Airports

With roles available across Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands Airports, you’ll be part of a national organisation with a strong sense of community and shared purpose.

Wherever you’re starting from — whether you’re exploring your options, studying, or ready to take your next step — MAG offers early careers opportunities that help you learn, develop and make a real difference.
