Nearly 100 more flights cancelled TODAY from UK airports
The issue is partly caused by difficulties finding new recruits and getting their security checks processed after thousands of jobs were cut during the pandemic.According to data from Cirium, more than 1,000 flights were cancelled in the week between March 28 and April 3, compared to just 197 in the same period pre-pandemic.
John O'Neill, North West Regional Industrial Officer for Unite has warned that Brits can expect holiday disruption in the summer as well, due to a high volume of passengers expected to travel He said: "Summer is going to be far worse than this. It is the time to get everything in place otherwise summer is going to be very difficult."
Unite has said that airlines need to offer better pay and perks, otherwise there won't be "sufficient workers to meet passenger demand," leading to more cancellations. And general secretary of pilot union BALPA Martin Chalk said chaos "may well" continue into the summer due to the lack of staff being hired.
