Flughafen Zurich is ready to face the summer wave, which promises to be significant. The Zurich tarmac operator has enough staff to cope with the upsurge in air traffic this summer, he said on Monday.
Over the next few weeks, Switzerland’s largest airport will see between 80,000 and 90,000 passengers on certain busy days. Management recommends allowing plenty of time in advance and arriving up to three hours before flight departure.
“Generally, we have enough staff at the airport available,” says the company. However, delays are possible due to lack of manpower at airports abroad or in air traffic control throughout Europe. The Zurich company and its partners are working to limit the operational impact of these difficulties.
Lately, images of overcrowded airports and flight cancellations due to lack of staff have hit the headlines, both in Switzerland and abroad. The Swiss airline, like others in Europe, had to cancel hundreds of flights this summer because there were not enough employees.
The company specializing in the management of passengers and baggage on the ground Swissport, which offers its services to several companies departing from Zurich airport, has already expressed doubts in the press concerning its ability to absorb the influx. expected from travelers this summer. Strike threats by its employees have also been reported, but a spokeswoman assured that the staff was sufficient.
