Hundreds of vacancies remain unfilled at Brussels Airport

10:55 03/12/2014

At Brussels Airport, about 500 vacancies remain unfilled, especially those requiring low-skilled technicians. The company calls for improved bus services to and from the airport.

The airport is looking for low-skilled workers for the many open vacancies at the airport, especially in hospitality, baggage handling, cleaning services and security. The jobs are not easy to fill, says CEO Arnaud Feist in De Tijd.

The best group of candidates for a job at Brussels Airport often have no car, and have a hard time getting to the airport by public transport for early and late shifts.

Brussels Mobility Minister Pascal Smet has therefore begun consultations with Brussels Airport that should result in improved bus services to and from the airport.

Low paid jobs remain unfilled all over the country. People don't want them and due to the way the Belgian State hands out money to them hand over fist for doing nothing, who can blame them.

Maybe some persons would be interested in those jobs but as said, if the transportation service in this town is not able to assume its responsibility, give me a good reason why to accept a job over there. Also the second reason is as foolish, for you have to speak french and flamish, english is not compulsory even if Brussels is the so-called "capitale de l'Europe". No comment.

I'd give them good reason to accept a job. I would stop all benefits if they did not take any job they were offered (within reason). I don't expect them to cross the entire country every morning for a low paid job, but this " I would only be 100 Euro better off after expenses" bullshirt bothers me deeply. Wrong attitude fostered by those hoking great hand outs a gain.
