Chaotic scenes at UK airports have prompted the boss of a major airline to speak out about frustrations over the UK employment market and Brexit. Jet2 boss Steve Heapy is reported to have spoken out during talks this week as the industry tries to replace employees lost during the pandemic.
Holidaymakers faced a week of chaotic scenes at some UK airports this week with queues, delays and cancelled flights. The situation at East Midlands Airport has not mirrored that at some other UK airports, with bosses assuring passengers of a smoother travel experience.
Huge lines were seen snaking around the outside of Leeds Bradford Airport and Manchester Airport, while passengers also told of delays at Heathrow, Stansted, Gatwick, Bristol and Birmingham.
