London After several days of long queues at several British airports, the head of Irish low-cost airline Ryanair has suggested letting the military help out temporarily. Deploying the armed forces there, as is done at other airports, would take the pressure off airport security staff in one fell swoop, Michael O’Leary, known for his pithy words, told ITV on Thursday.
In the past few days, travelers at airports such as Manchester or London-Gatwick have sometimes waited for hours in front of security checks and counters. This is attributed to staff shortages.
O’Leary dismissed the UK government’s accusation that the travel industry was underprepared and allowing too many bookings. The government refuses to issue special visas for jobs in the travel industry.
After Brexit, workers from other EU countries can no longer come and work in Great Britain without major hurdles and costs.
