As experts warn families face a summer of further chaos if action is not taken, more queues have been reported at Manchester Airport and others across the UK this week.
Holidaymakers have reported being caught up in travel chaos in recent weeks, with flights delayed or cancelled. One family even had to spend €500 on clothes and toiletries after all their suitcases went missing when they flew to Fuerteventura from Manchester.
On Tuesday, Union Unite which represents tens of thousands of aviation workers said holidaymakers were paying the price for "chronic staff shortages" brought on following the covid pandemic.
