Employers at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport are looking to hire some 700 people this summer as pandemic-weary travelers are expected to take to the skies in a big way.

Officials at MSP are predicting this summer will be the busiest since 2019 - before COVID-19 decimated air travel.

To prepare for the anticipated throng, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) held a job fair at Terminal 1 on Wednesday to lure potential applicants for jobs at airlines, air support firms, security operations, food, beverage and hospitality services and retail shops.
