Airport chaos: EPP social politician calls for Commission intervention

In view of the chaotic conditions at some European airports, MEP Dennis Radtke (CDU) calls for intervention by the EU Commission as well as national governments. He said there was a lack of staff for check-in, security checks, and baggage loading. This is the main reason why many passengers miss their flights and sometimes have to wait for hours. The staff shortage is the result of numerous layoffs during the COVID pandemic.
