It’s the battle for workers as businesses around the world face staff shortages
The aviation sector is one of many dealing with labour issues and now one airline is doing something about it.
British low-cost airline EasyJet is set to offer new and existing cabin crew a £1,000 bonus at the end of the summer holiday season.
It hopes the new incentive will retain current staff and attract new ones to the airline.
EasyJet says the payments would acknowledge crews contributions to what it expects to be a busy summer.
British Airways is offering something similar providing new staff with a sign on bonus.
The UK’s ending of travel restrictions has seen demand for holidays soar.
The aviation industry shed thousands of jobs during the pandemic but now airports and airlines have been racing to recruit staff for months as travel picks up.
