The hiring comes even as Aer Lingus is completing a wave of redundancies initiated because of the pandemic. Aer Lingus is using Irish HR outsourcing firm Nobox to hire staff for the Manchester services. Nobox has told prospective applicants that Aer Lingus will start the Manchester services to the US this summer. Aer Lingus was granted tentative approval earlier this month by US authorities to operate services from Manchester to America. US authorities also granted Aer Lingus permission to begin marketing and selling tickets in the UK for the flights.
