Chaos at Manchester Airport is set to continue over the next months with airline bosses warning people of a "challenging" summer. Staff shortage and long queues at airport security have caused significant issues for travellers in the past few weeks and even resulted in holidaymakers missing their flights.
While Manchester Airport recently issued an update to say they were "on the road to recovery" Ryanair bosses have warned people to arrive in plenty of time. Chief executive Michael O’Leary has said getting through airports will be “challenging” this summer and that there are “pinch-points” at airports such as Heathrow and Manchester Airports, where he said “too many people” have been sacked.
“We would hope to see those pinch-points eliminated by the end of June in time for the peak summer period," he said. “But there’s no doubt getting through airports this summer is going to be challenging and we’re encouraging all of our customers to show up earlier to allow more time to get through airport security, particularly in Manchester.”
