Huge queues at airports, flight cancellations and other “hell and chaos” faced by European tourists during the Easter holidays this week will last at least the entire summer season of 2022. This statement was made by the chairman of Europe’s most famous low-cost carrier Ryanair Eddie Wilson. “Pandemic” staff reductions are the main reason, and their consequences will have to be felt for a long time – he also assured.
“Many airlines are experiencing difficulties now, many service companies, airports are experiencing difficulties – in general, this applies to the whole economy. It was not easy to stop the work of most of the airline industry in the pandemic – but it is even more difficult to restore it,” said the CEO of the low-cost carrier. However, he said that his company is still “in a good position” this summer.
Long queues at airports continue to haunt tourists at least across the UK, especially at Manchester airport. At the same time, problems have already begun at continental airports, where heavy loads are also being recorded.
Tourists are being offered new services in this regard – for example, at Stansted, the fourth largest airport in the UK, travelers were told to arrive the night before if their airline has an early baggage service. By the way, the same service was offered to tourists by the tour operator TUI: tourists are advised to leave luggage at the airport the night before departure to avoid long queues.
The last days before Catholic Easter – that is, these Thursdays and Fridays have become the busiest days at British airports, as well as at airports in many European countries. Queues for registration “a mile long” stretched beyond the buildings of airports – according to eyewitnesses. Read the details at the link. As you can see, in the summer season, tourists are not promised concessions.
