Airline
I'm leaving on a jet plane.
Did you miss a flight recently because of airport or airline disruptions? On Sunday, more than 1,000 passengers at Dublin airport missed flights due to queues and a lack of airport staff. US airlines cancelled more than 2,500 flights alone over the four-day Memorial Day holiday due to staff shortages. What gives? Is this the "new normal" of flying, or will the airline industry hire more staff to cope with increasing passenger numbers?
