The summer when air travel was supposed to return to normal after a two-year pandemic vacuum is in danger of becoming the summer when the high-volume, low-cost air travel model broke down - at least in Europe's sprawling integrated market. The aviation industry says it has lost 2.3 million jobs globally during the pandemic, with ground-handling and security hardest hit, according to Air Transport Action Group which represents the industry."They clearly have alternatives now and can switch jobs," said senior ING economist Rico Luman.
She says shortages have led to staff being overworked. Stranded passengers have been turning aggressive. Morale is low. Schiphol has now given a summer bonus of 5.25 euros per hour to 15,000 workers in security, baggage handling, transportation and cleaning - a 50% increase for those on minimum wage."Let's be honest, the last six weeks have not really been an advertisement for coming to work at the airport."
The June 19-21 IATA meeting is expected to signal relative optimism about growth tempered by concerns over inflation.
