Strikes and staff shortages have forced airlines across Europe to cancel thousands of flights

Many hoping for a great summer getaway are met with hours-long queues at major airports.

During the pandemic, when demand for travel came to a stop, there was a long period of job and pay cuts.

And now staff across the industry from pilots to baggage handlers are calling for better pay and working conditions

And some airlines have decided to increase wages, to get the wheels in motion and the plane in the air.

Airports and airlines having staff shortages are scrambling to recruit more personnel including pilots, security, border control staff and baggage handlers, as many quit their jobs or were let go during the COVID 19 lockdowns.

In particular, the Aviation Industry is having a difficult time recruiting for physically demanding jobs, and for low paid work at airports often that are far from the city.

The chaos has really hit airports around the world, with European airports and airlines taking the brunt of it.

There are currently negotiations on the way to help resolve these issues as workers call for more rights and better pay.
