A boost to the recovering economy came this week with Ryanair announcing it was creating roughly 1,000 jobs at airports nationwide. The airline confirmed it is to expand its operations and hopes to fill the new roles by summer 2013. These include pilots, engineers, cabin crew and baggage staff. Chief executive Michael O’Leary said the firm hopes to carry an extra one million passengers, adding: “We’re taking more and more big aircraft and placing those… across the regions.”
