Bulletguy Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 TUI has cancelled more flights over the next month as a union warned the issues at airports across the UK and Ireland "could get worse this summer before they get better". https://news.sky.com/story/tui-cancels-more-flights-as-union-warns-airport-chaos-could-get-worse-before-it-gets-better-12624664 Manchester Airport: Co-pilot loads bags to help delayed flight A co-pilot helped load luggage on to a 32-hour delayed flight to ensure it was finally able to take off. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-61646001 'Travel carnage worsens' and PM fuels Tory anger https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-61641384 Why is there chaos at some UK airports, how long could it go on for and what are your rights? https://news.sky.com/story/why-is-there-chaos-at-some-uk-airports-how-long-could-it-go-on-for-and-what-are-your-rights-12624596 They should go to Goblins airport as he just walks straight through.....never any queues.

John52 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Makes you glad to have a camper van doesn't it? I saw one family who actually got on the plane, sat for a couple of hours and were then told the flight was cancelled 8-) >:-( :-( Turns out it had taken so long to load the baggage the pilot had not got enough hours left. All seems to be down to staff shortage - Brexit again, same as the NHS crisis - but also staff being laid off during the lockdowns - exacly what we paid out £billions in furlough to prevent So where has all the furlough money gone *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 This morning a couple on the news told how they'd eventually got to Turkey for their holiday - after flight delays totalling 60 hours! 8-) A Manchester family had to go shopping for clothes after their suitcases were 'lost' on Ryanair flight to Fuerteventura. They still have no idea where their bags are or when they might arrive. They contacted Ryanair numerous times who say it's nowt to do with them - it's Manchester Airport's responsibility. *-) https://tinyurl.com/mt5kk4yr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Looks like Brexit and CV-19 have made 'the perfect storm', with both the industry and government keen to blame each other. Funny enough ATM I'm doing some work for one of the industries leaders, AFAIK his company isn't dumping people off planes, and are running close to normal.

John52 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Its not just holidaymakers & business travellers either. Most of the passenger planes also carry perishable and urgent freight. As if our exporters haven't got enough to contend with :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
