According to the BBC, recent weeks have seen airport disruptions and airline cancellations in the UK that have affected tens of thousands of travelers. These incidents have raised fears about the possibility of more travel difficulties throughout the summer.
Staffing shortages were one of the primary factors that contributed to the interruptions. Due to a lack of available workers, the Gatwick airport has announced that it would restrict the number of flights that depart from its airport during the busiest time of the year, which is summer.
