For weeks now, airports have been reporting one-time check-in and check-in queues, and airlines have canceled flights.

In Europe, there is a tourism crisis at major airports that cannot cope with the insane flow of passengers. On Wednesday, June 22, Politico wrote.

They explained the situation by the fact that many EU countries have already removed restrictions related to COVID-19. At the same time, the two-year pandemic and the economic situation forced the airports to lay off some of the workers, so the staff could not cope with the large number of tourists who finally decided to take a vacation.

At the same time, employees sent on vacation or laid off during the pandemic decided not to return to an industry that offered the lowest wages and that working conditions were harsh.

“The bad weather has come for transportation in Europe,” the report said.

Airlines have already blamed airport authorities for the unrest. Like, they file summer schedules at the end of March, and the airports have enough time to recruit staff. in turn, airport managers said they needed more time to hire new staff.

“We’re going out of a pandemic, there’s no script for that. We’re in the middle of an Omicron outbreak, and anyone who wanted to run a recruitment campaign at that time in the middle of a pandemic could predict the future or be extremely reckless,” he said. Virginia. Lee, ACI Europe representative.

In France and Italy, in addition to queuing for long-haul flights, airport staff went on strike. In Spain, over the past few months, nearly 15,000 passengers have missed a flight right because of the queues, this number will increase in the summer.

Germany is also experiencing some particular difficulties, where increased demand for travel and a shortage of staff have been registered, and expectations at terminals are gradually rising. Lufthansa, Ryanair and Air France had to cancel hundreds of flights and suffer economic losses due to staffing problems.

In the Netherlands, Schiphol is crowded with passengers waiting in line. Due to staff shortages in Amsterdam, dozens of flights are canceled every day. Those expecting to fly the route must arrive at the airport four hours prior to the flight.

Employees at Ryanair and Brussels Airlines went on strike this week, and Lufthansa had already canceled 1,000 flights in July due to a lack of staff and spaces at Germany’s largest airport, Frankfurt.

Meanwhile, low-cost airline easyJet said it had been forced to reduce thousands of flights scheduled for the summer.

Those planning to fly from any airport in Europe are advised to be patient and arrive at least three hours before departure instead of the usual two.
