Chaos at European airports spread to Turkey, flights are delayed up to 4 hours

Tourists may be indirectly affected by the air chaos in Europe. The reason is Turkish Airlines flights, which began to suffer from delays at European airports. In particular, many airliners cannot depart on time from European airports. As a result, as Turkish media warn, there are not only delays in their arrival at Turkish airports but also delays in domestic flights. Fan delays can spread to other directions.

According to Turkish media, due to staff shortages and strikes at European airports, especially in Germany, England, the Netherlands, France, and Belgium, Turkish Airlines’ European operations are experiencing disruptions. The problems mostly arise from the inability of Turkish Airlines planes to depart on time from European airports.

As experts added, due to flight delays from European airports, planes arrive late at Istanbul airport, and some domestic flights are delayed up to 3-4 hours. There is a risk that the situation will affect other international flights as well.

We will remind you that the air chaos in the same Germany – which is now the leader in terms of the number of tourists who are delivered to Turkey – caused deep disappointment among tourists. “In the first week of the summer holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state, vacationers experienced everything but rest,” German experts complain.

Tourists, they said, faced only canceled flights, waiting hours at check-in and security checks, lost luggage, and other disappointments. The difficult situation was also recognized by Ralf Baisel, CEO of the German Airport Association (ADV). According to him, Europe’s airports are in chaos, and things are simply disgusting, because approximately one in five operational staff at airports, which is needed, is absent.
