Staff corridors at Scotland’s biggest airport are being crammed full of luggage – with employees saying there’s nowhere else for it to go. Union bosses say the situation has created an “unsuitable and unsafe working environment” for staff.
This picture, taken at Edinburgh Airport yesterday morning, shows dozens of suitcases and bags lying abandoned in restricted areas. Staff say there is nowhere else they can store passengers’ belongings due to the huge amount of baggage passing through the airport.
There are so many suitcases and bags still to be reclaimed by passengers in the corridors that it is difficult for wheelchairs to pass. And the pile-ups, also said to be happening at Glasgow Airport, are being blamed on industry bosses and government officials.
