More Delays At Manchester Airport Are Being Blamed On A Lack Of Employees

As the airport struggles to cope with rising demand, a lack of employees at Manchester Airport has resulted in long lines for baggage collection.

For weeks, the airport has been plagued by delays, with hours-long security lines leading some passengers to miss their flights.

Returning passengers were warned on Saturday that there were insufficient personnel to carry their baggage through - or even to let them exit from planes in some situations.

To satisfy demand, the airport stated it was having difficulty recruiting and training workers.

The challenges arise when portions of England begin their Easter vacations, and demand rises following the lifting of all Covid travel restrictions to the UK.

Passengers claimed they were informed there weren't enough workers to get the luggage through the baggage hall.

One politician blamed the problems at the airport, which is partly owned by Manchester City Council, on a "management failure."

Passengers whose experience "fell short of the standards they expected" were apologized to by the airport.

It stated it was "under-resourced" and struggling to find new employees, who require "a long time to train, up to eight weeks," and that baggage handlers and handling agents were in limited supply.

To reduce delays, the airport is "exploring a number of short-term measures," including the deployment of agency personnel.
