Maastricht, 28 April 2022. The air traffic controllers' union Trade Union EUROCONTROL Maastricht (TUEM) expects traffic volumes in European air traffic to increase significantly in over the summer. The union warns that some air navigation service providers in Europe are not yet prepared for this. In Eastern Europe in particular, there is a threat of flight cancellations as a result of Corona austerity measures.
Maastricht, December 9, 2021: Air traffic in Europe is threatened in the 2022 holiday season by similar conditions as in the "summer of delays" in 2018. Back then, bad planning in air traffic control led to massive disruptions in European air traffic. The reason for this is that the current capacity planning of the air navigation service providers is too low.
Vor einem möglichen Verspätungschaos im europäischen Luftraum hat die Lotsen-Gewerkschaft TUEM gewarnt. Im kommenden Sommer könne es zu Zuständen kommen wie in dem "Verspätungs-Sommer 2018", kritisierte TUEM-Chef Stefan Pille am Donnerstag.
Der Chef von Wisag Aviation befürchtet Personalengpässe bei der Abfertigung – und fordert teurere Ticketpreise. Auch die Lotsen warnen vor Problemen.
