Air travel chaos ‘could get worse’
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2022
- Hundreds of flights and package holidays have been cancelled and many flights have been delayed across the UK, with the travel industry blaming a staff shortage due to a lack of government help during the pandemic.
The deputy general secretary of The Prospect union, which represents thousands of staff across air traffic control, said “things could get worse this summer before they get better.”
German holiday giant TUI has already cancelled 200 flights between now and 30 June, which has disappointed many people hoping to get away for the half-term and Platinum Jubilee weekend.

"losing workers during the pandemic"
BS, they fired or pushed workers to resign with pay cuts and now with shortsighted planning they expect these workers, that were ( and still are ) paid peanuts , rush back at the snap of fingers from the same directors, managers and supervisors that at in reverse enjoyed keeping their job and working from home during pandemic ...
Yes BA did exactly that to me. Some of our ex-crew have gone back as they missed it so much…for peanuts and a much lower salary than they were on! Thankfully, I’ve found a new career as a student nurse, and I wouldn’t have gone back out of principle anyway, despite missing my colleagues terribly.
pLandemic
Absolutely. They got rid of thousands of ground staff, cabin crew and pilots so they could chop and cut all the TnC's ready to re hire at lower wages, less holiday and less benefits. They're not short of staff - they're short of ethics.
Absolutely right ! Get rid of check in staff and install ' self check in ' , pathetically slow !
@@pilgrimoutdoors-uk6177 💯💯
This is what happens when airlines and travel companies sack their staff during a pandemic.
what pandemic? its all was caused by gov acring like complete psychos
Karma for treating their staff appallingly during the pandemic
100%
I was one of them staff members!!! They reap what they sew!!
Why did the airline leaders allow their reps to book flights if they knew little staff was available? Money. Despicable. Criminal??
This is UK future ua-cam.com/video/5Srqyd8B9gE/v-deo.html&ab_channel=KingsofHorror
Presume they assumed they’d be able to ramp up recruitment. However why were they cancelling on the day of flight beggars belief.
The compensation for a cancelled or delayed flight is massive . The problem is new recruits cannot get through the security process is massively delayed . Also people are still on the sick with covid . I was delayed last week for 5 hours , my compensation was £220 . I only paid £67 for the flight . Airlines do not do this on purpose .
Did the airline’s lose workers during the pandemic? I thought they got rid of them to save money.
They had to make redundancies because the airlines and ground handling companies approached the government for help, but they kept refusing to help...
Theh were paid by the government to keep workers,but obviously kept the cash
@@colinwishbone4437 without sounding rude. U must tell me all the support we received? Because u obviously know....
To keep paying shareholders and bonuses. Ya see new pay deals in other countries to attract staff, so these issues at a busy weekend aren't like here, in doughnut britain
Blaming the government. Travel industry has always treated its staff like S•IT. Airlines have had two years of no business to prepare for a re-start. What were they all doing.... sleeping.
Plus nice to see there's no shortage of money in the country.....
Well, not always....
No shortage in the 5th biggest economy in the world. Just greedy businesses and politicians stuffing money in their pockets
The problem is not the airlines; it is the airports.
Meanwhile BA is looking for check in staff at London airports and offers 20k... no wonder there are shortages, do they not realise how miserable life is on 20k in the most expensive city in the country?! Pay a decent wage and there will be no shortages
Yes indeed. If they were paying £60k there'd be no shortage of staff.
@@cockpiss9260 they’d also not have a viable business if they paid everyone 60k - but if they are paying 20k I can see why they don’t have and influx of people wanting to join
Cheap labour that's what ik is all about shocking country and will get worse 1million percent
Tory Britain isn't interested in fairness or equality
@@tom4626 They would , they wouldn't make so many Billions in profit though !
The airlines were crying they had no customers over covid and now many want to go away and they mess it up blame yourselves

@Simon B...We don't care about Ukraine getting tired of all the news. English people cry about everything sensitive especially British women even if their Dogg didn't receive a washing treatment because the local Chinese stole all the others in the line lol.

Look at all these people who have no money for gas or rent traveling spending money.
That's why they have no money for gas or rent ... 🤣
Fact, just a nation of moaners
1st world problem. There are millions on this planet who don't know when they'll see their next bowl of rice.
Stop planning weddings abroad
They are nicer.
Apparently the only flights that leave the UK now are heading to Rwanda.
Good
This country is a joke .
be grateful. people in third world countries would do anything to live the life we do in this country
@@attari56 - NO they would not.
@@piccalillipit9211 Actually they would.
It's the same situation here in Amsterdam Schiphol, where we simply have too little workers around. But also the low wages played a big part. But luckily enough a breakthrough came and an agreement was hammered out.
How come I dont hear this in Terminal 2 at Heathrow? Singapore Airlines, Swissair, Aer Lingus. They dont have shortages, so why do BA and TUI?
Dang...good question!
Probly pay their staff a decent wage to attract people
It takes longer to check-in and pass security than it takes to fly to some destinations. Airlines should be ashamed selling flights and holidays that they cannot honour.
A business cannot feel shame
I flew in from Chicago ohare to London Heathrow about 4 weeks ago (i Live in America but am British) I left early to avoid the crowds, got to Ohare and was through in 25 mins, got to Heathrow and waited in line for just over 3 hours to get past security. At Ohare security line was small so I went outside and smoked till 2 hours before my flight. (already checked my bags.)
I was talking to a worker at Heathrow and he told me they get treated like crap and the pay is bad, they just cant get anyone to work for them.
It was the same coming back Heathrow was crap Chicago was easy.
It wasn't just me my brother lives in Thailand was the same for him
Heathrow sort your sh$t out people get tired of the same excuses where not stupid we know what the problem is we don't want to hear it.
Similar to when it took me 3 1/2 hours to get through Miami airport.
When I was there, it was common knowledge that Heathrow was often jokingly called " Thief's Row" due to purported baggage theft.
@@johnbroussard9480 Yep had a spare watch stolen from my baggage at Heathrow last September, wasnt very valuable and they paid me for it pretty quick just pissed me off
@@fasthracing same experience in Miami....utter chaos...Heathrow yesterday was a bliss
I do not understand anything of what they are saying, is that english?
Stay home and save your pennies for heating your mortgaged home in winter .
AGREED! People are complaining about everyday expenses and yet no problem to take off somewhere sunny. Oh the irony! I don't feel sorry for them at all..
@@chrisadish People always complain and yet they have absolutely everything .
"losing workers during the pandemic"...
Why don't any of them speak the Queen's English? Gosh. I can't understand what they're saying.
Anyone who is stupid enough to book a holiday abroad right now deserves it, the shortage of staff, massive fuel prices, don’t get me wrong I feel sorry for the people but come on, it’s not like we didn’t know is it.
We all not happy sat at home tugging our meat all day some of us are dying to get away
Stupid comment , some people booked a holidays many months ago nobody expected this situation back then
And then they complain, who cares
@@acthompson9983 yeah that’s right, it doesn’t to go cheap sometimes.
@@klizan33 this was known before bresit, so yes they did know
Authorities and companies blaming each other. Noone taking responsibility. Ruining peoples hard earned and much needed breaks. No penalties. No resignations. Nothing. Quelle surprise
IT happen only in the UK
brexshit going well isnt it
@@ryancarter4001 Netherlands and Belgium flights to the uk.
@@catherinemontgomery7130 nothing to do with Brexit.
Get over it.
No it happened in Ireland too, Dublin Airport Saturday and Sunday people missed flights because of long queues at security checks not enough staff to man stations no flights cancelled but people couldn't get to boarding before planes took off half empty
Hmmm tought here at Schiphol we were the only one..
travel companies are greedy
They sacked them or took redundancies never came back serves them right gangsters greed
They are legally obliged to get people to their destination. Not just cancel flights and send people off home.
I expect Tui will be forced to pay compensation claims very soon.
No they are not
If they are liable they will get there money back from the airports, tax payers paying always
My flight was cancelled last week by easyJet just got confirmation of my £700 compensation 👌🏽 free Holiday
@@redboyjan Tui is a private company and can afford to compensate everyone whose flights were cancelled (up to the value of £520 normally). The airport isn’t liable for independent travel companies who massively overbooked flights. So please explain why the tax payer would foot the bill.
@@travelwell6049 we foot the bill a lot that much is obvious
These holiday companies took bookings & money from customers knowing they were majorly understaffed & these positions would not be filled in time for the half term break.
They claim that there are staff shortages but im not convinced. I believe the increasing cost of fuel is proving to be as much of an issue. If it was staff shortages, then why didn't they react sooner. Most of the people that booked holidays, did so months ago and the holiday companies knew that and would have staffed up to deal with it. The rise in fuel prices due to the conflict in Ukraine was more of a shock. The public are being taken for a ride, or not as the case may be.
This is an absolute disgrace.they didn't lose workers,they sacked them.then took all the bookings without having the staff to deal with them.there needs to be questions asked in Parliament about this.
Where that is true one of the biggest problem is the NEW security checks and they were put in place by the government, so they might be blaming the airlines but it's not all there fault.
Imagine if the government legislated and if people had to wait over 1.5 hours to check in had to be compensated £200 minimum by the airport.
Soon speed it up
Imagine if people didn't immediately resort to legislating for every single problem....
A lot of new agency’s are blaming it all on staff shortages a lot of the cancellations are also due to aircraft shortages.
It will be a holiday in my own country - but fortunately I live in one of the world's most beautiful countries (Norway) Investing in a holiday abroad is a risk sport.
but i neeeeed sun and heat! norway is such a miserable place!
Yeah! Don't actually get your point. Der...
I moved from the UK to Malta, it's good to holiday next to your house
@@genapp3603 house from the council in Malta
Norge är inte en av världens vackraste länder lol
Good to see people can still fly.
They should get the Royal Navy to take them to their destination seems to work in the English channel
So very true sir👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
MrNice Guy ... Don't be silly 🙄 ... its in the wrong direction.
My heart bleeds, I'll light a candle and change my filter to "I stand with those who could go on holiday but didn't get to"
It's ridiculous and shameful the airport and airlines bosses are responsible for this it's unfair and wrong and they need to get a grip
Considering how entitled and pugnacious my neighbours have acted throughout furlough, with their gloating and smugness about receiving a £5,600 per month holiday curtesy of Rishi, to them, stuck in the ques, cancelled flights and lost holidays is just a bit of karma paying a visit
TUI cancelling up to SIX flights A DAY until the end of June. What a cock up. Glad I sacked off a holiday abroad for a while. Sod that.
What is the date?
How many of these people thought it wouldn't possibly happen to their flight.
I thought it wouldn’t happen to me. I go to Turkey at the end of the month only to find out today through TUI our holiday has been cancelled. We booked this holiday 4 years ago and this is the third time in a year our holiday has been cancelled. We’ve now luckily decided to go with Jet2 to Turkey still on the same day at the end of this month as they are much more reliable
“12,000 staff needed at Heathrow but getting airport clearance can take months”. I understand that but in an employment crisis, surely there’s a way of fast tracking the process. Wtf are the CEO’s of the airports doing?
Pocketing the money and getting ready to run probably
Making money. This is all calculated. Those people have no choice.
So what is the way, Daz??
Enlighten us.
Hmm but imagine the outrage if a fast track let something slip through security to cause disaster. Sadly too many employers assume their workers are skillless and easily replacable, then are caught out that they can't easily replace them. Look at the hash of it P&O made.
Objectives of the UN Agenda 21!
Taking a flight these days looks like having the worst nightmare of your whole life... I was thinking of going to London this summer but Videos like this really put me off... Awful stuff 🕶️
That's seriously disorganized...why not alert people beforehand?...tough summer
It's already so bad it couldn't get any worse.
BREXIT can always get worse, and it will...
Oh cant it ... just wait and see 🤣
Thank god I have the money to charter a private jet.
The latest Gulfstream G800 is a delight.
Alright ye jammy so-and-so
Cost of living crisis?? Really??
Planet dying too. But the plebs must sit on a beach too much
How was at the Dublin Airport?
Put the waterworks away and call the managers - WTH!
The government and their ilk travel without any delays or problems wonder why that is🤔
yawn
These passengers are probably the people complaining of the struggles of the cost of living lolz good. Welcome to the real world
Just as bad here in Dublin
Yes, but in Dublin, EU workers can be hired soon and things will be resolved. Not in, UK. Foreigners working and paying national insurance and income tax are not welcome in Daily Mail land.
But people will still keep booking them.
Aw.. I’ve had to wait a little longer to get on the plane. Someone grab me a violin.
We are doomed, cost of living crises followed by this
Cut your costs then, I'm sure that holiday reeeeeeeeeaaaaaalllllly helped out with their debt.
It's shambles 😫
many won't quit their jobs to accept the job offer in the airport thinking that a new variant can come and they will be kicked out (again)
Travel is pure misery nowadays.
Not for the rich and wealthy, only for the peasants.
what a shame for ppl who cares not me
OMG, have a barbecue in the backyard with your neighbors
Just go to the nearest church and get married there…and the trip money ..invest….now cost of living is not an issue…it will be after the wedding that cost of loving will become issue…😂😂🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
why this is always happening in UK ?
It is not, it as happening in a number of countries, get your facts straight
God Manchester folk sound highly UNintelligent
Oh yeah because it's Manchester Airport.....
travel agencies, airlines and airports. They all need to be investigated. At the very least one of the as perpetrated a massive fraud by selling services they were fully aware they are unable to offer.
It’s common practice to oversell seats, just not on this scale.
Everyone knows it isn’t covid. It’s brexit
judging from the comments not everyone knows but yes it is brexit
What load bollocks, everyone knows it was covid
Oh no...
British Airways are still flying to Chamonix and St Lucia which is splendid.
It appears that only the air carriers of the working class, bound for low-rent destinations are affected.
Sounds fair enough
As it should be.
Standard
How sad. This is absolutely devastating. Where's the kleenex?😪
Its not life and death. Yeah, its a shame people have missed out on a holiday, but there are far worse things happening in the world!

@@martinwebb1681 no, in Kimberley Clark's UK plants in Kent, Cumbria and Wales, machinery I made. because we can survive outside your European overseers and masters.

No issue with business class travel...strange that.

🤣😂🤣😂 ... Government is far too busy helping it self.
i'm surprised China hasn't been blamed for this yet.
It’s all by design !!!

Yawn
We totally won by more than 52% a load more they tried to rig the vote to stay AND FAILED🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so ..............SUCK IT UP NOWT TO DO WITH BREXIT!!! Time to wake up from your coma🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻
Same thing happening in the Netherlands at Schiphol
Brexit will get worse. This only the beginning. The Daily Mail brainwashed don't realise it yet.
What causes all these delays, fuel shortages?
@@ryancarter4001 i see, thanks.
British English is becoming a comically absurd dialect. I did not understand s word of what the dude or his mom were saying!
true everyone saying this around the world this people simple don't speak english
The airline companies are laughing
Nice to see no shortage of money in the country......
Flight cancelled, Liam West. Okay.
Maybe if they let little billy fly i could pick them all up in my concorde
So The Question is, Why is this happening?
brexshit
Well its only happening in the UK ... so if it isn't Covid it must be a Brexit benefit, one of many we were promised.
it's pretty simple - immigrants from lower economy countries who were coming to UK accepting lower wages are no longer allowed to come and work in the UK. British people must take the jobs now but the problem is british people will not work for peanuts and zero hour contracts or whatever insecure jobs these companies offer. People who voted for brexit voted for this so deal with it
The result of Government Lockdown policy leading to the redundancies that have destroyed employment in the UK and Irish travel industry.
Policy and oversight. The govt leaders should have made sure the airline and airport officials were using taxpayer funds to keep employees, not as some speculate, sustain shareholder dividends. Smh
Grow up. The travel industry is greedy and led by stupids.
Standard. Vote brexit tory get rubbish guaranteed
Stay home, problem solved!
Logic.
Take the train. That's the middle class way.
Needs pay more.....I work at airport transport and pay for a load of work it's nor fair
I haven't had a holiday in 10 years when I went to Italy on a bus with friends.
Too many jobs and not enough people to fill them, I wonder how that came about ?
