An airline boss has blamed the recent airport chaos on "lazy Brits who live off benefits and sit on their arses", The Mirror reports. The comment has allegedly come from the chief executive of Jet2, Steve Heapy, after talks commenced this week to try and reduce staff shortages.
The comment comes as travellers have faced weeks of chaos at airports across the country, including Leeds Bradford Airport. The chaos has continued into the Jubilee weekend with many flights delayed and cancelled.
British Airways and easyJet called for more powers when it comes to hiring visa-free workers from Europe. Looking at unemployed cabin crew in Spain as a possible source of labour.
