Edinburgh Airport has warned it may not have recruited enough staff by the summer peak
Edinburgh Airport has warned holidaymakers to expect queues and disruption over the summer as it returns to full service. Its chief executive said the main reason was that staff numbers would not reach pre-pandemic levels in time.Passengers in 2020 and 2021 fell from nearly 15 million to three million, but are forecast to surge this year.This growth, coupled with tough recruitment markets, has prompted the warning of disruption over the summer.
He said he would draft in staff from across the airport to help passengers get through the airport quickly and comfortably. "We lost many valued colleagues and our recruitment campaign to employ 1,000 people across the airport has been under way since the end of 2021," he said.
