Chaos at European airports. Long lines and lines are already canceling holiday connections

Some airport services lack staff. This relates particularly to security monitoring, border control and the police. There are simply no applicants to work at the airports. And if we find them, they still have to undergo training, which causes further delays, explains Ben Smith, head of Air France-KLM.

Jams are also forming at London Heathrow and Gatwick airports in Dublin, Stockholm and Brussels. “In Great Britain, the situation at the airports is currently the most difficult and there are no indications that it will improve in a short time, and the government of Boris Johnson is already preparing for possible strikes” – the daily wrote.
