Melbourne Airport will need to fill almost 2000 jobs to cope with an expected surge in international arrivals as China’s main airlines ramp up services as the economy of Australia’s biggest trading partner reopens.

The return of the airlines, which includes China Southern, China Eastern and Air China, will bring the airport’s international capacity to 80 per cent of its pre-COVID levels within two months, boosting the need for a stronger workforce to avoid a repeat of operational difficulties that plagued Australia’s airports during peak periods of 2022.

Melbourne Airport chief executive Lorie Argus said the airport was preparing for more increases to the number of international passenger and freight services as international airlines race to keep up with consumer demand.
