It is stated that the reason for the lack of personnel is largely due to the fact that the personnel who were dismissed during the COVID-19 epidemic period found new jobs and did not want to return to the aviation industry. Another factor stands out as the return of European employees to their countries due to Brexit and the inability of new employees to come due to heavy visa requirements.
In France, a quarter of morning flights were canceled due to the strike of Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport staff. According to the news in the French press, a quarter of the flights could not be made between 07.00-14.00 due to the strike at Charles De Gaulle Airport in the capital Paris, upon the call of many unions. Striking workers want a 300 euro increase in wages against inflation.
Belgium's flag carrier, Brussels Airlines, decided to reduce the number of flights in the summer period after the unions threatened to strike. Unions warned that they could go on strike, especially during the holidays, due to problems with flight crew rest periods, working hours, workload and wages. Following this warning, Brussels Airlines announced that it has canceled 148 flights across Europe in order to ease the workload of employees during the summer period.
