Aviation workers and industry experts told i how 2022 descended into a travel nightmare for passengers
This year, he twice had to help load luggage onto a plane, with pilots sometimes having to “muck in” to ensure flights were able to take off on time.
“Cleaning the aircraft or putting in a couple of extra bags in, that might take five minutes and could be the difference between getting the aircraft into the air or being delayed that night.” “If everyone turns up, we’ve got enough staff; as soon as one or two people start ringing in sick that whole kind of supply chain starts falling apart.”“Massive strains” have also been caused by air traffic restrictions most days, with the closures of Russian and Ukrainian air space funnelling flights from the Middle East through southern Europe and Turkey and leading to further delays.
In June, Gatwick Airport announced it woiuld cut its summer flight schedule to avoid further disruption for holidaymakers Last month, Ryanair’s chief financial officer attacked airports for not recruiting enough staff to handle the increase in passengers, which the Heathrow boss, John Holland-Kaye, branded “bizarre.”on a TikTok trend in which passengers faked needing for wheelchairs in order to avoid long security and passport queues.
Kully Sandhu, the director of Aviation Recruitment Network which works with multiple airlines and airports, told“There’s too much competition in the marketplace at this moment in time for aviation and non-aviation roles. “In London, the majority, at least 55 to 60 per cent of our applications used to come from individuals where the UK was not their permanent residence, so they were not born in the UK,” Mr Sandhu said.
