Why are there staff shortages?

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the year has thus far been marked by widespread disruptions, such as long lines and cancelled flights due to staff shortages, leaving airlines and airports struggling to meet the increased demand.

At London’s Heathrow airport, British Airways employees recently voted to strike over pay, threatening disruption at one of Europe’s busiest aviation hubs during an already chaotic summer for air travellers.

Passengers in Europe have already endured lengthy delays and cancellations of hundreds of flights over the past few weeks, as airports struggle to cope with a lack of trained personnel and strong demand following the pandemic.
