Recently, the global civil aviation industry has shown a recovery trend. However, the sudden increase in workload has also led to a shortage of staff, and the contradictions caused by labor shortage are spreading in the European and American aviation industries.
The global aviation industry is enjoying the "peak sales season" that has not been seen for a long time. In June, domestic passenger volume of major US airlines has recovered to 90% before the epidemic, and international passenger volume has recovered to 88%; the average daily flight volume of European airlines has recovered to 85% before the epidemic.
The strong demand brings new troubles, the shortage of makes it difficult for airlines to withstand the surge in passenger flow, and plane delays and even cancellations often occur. On June 18, Mackenzie, who just married, had to spend her wedding holiday on the floor of the Philadelphia Airport because the airline canceled flights twice. The reason for the cancellation of flights is that there are no pilots.
Recently, there have been several thousand flights in a single day delayed and more than a thousand flights were cancelled. and airlines do not have enough manpower to coordinate subsequent compensation.
European aviation industry is also short of manpower, UK Heathrow Airport is piled up with mountains of luggage and no one is sorted out. The airport CEO pessimistically predicts that the airport's dilemma will last up to 18 months.
European Transport Workers Federation issued a warning recently that the chaos faced by aviation industry will only worsen throughout the summer .
China Air Transport Association Deputy Secretary-General Zhu Yaochun: The global civil aviation industry is accelerating its recovery, but it also faces many challenges, such as staff shortage, repeated epidemics, and high oil prices. The recovery of business travelers feels significantly lagging, so the global civil aviation industry will still be in a loss-making stage this year.
International Air Transport Association Chairman Willie Walsh: The global civil aviation industry will continue to lose US$9.7 billion (approximately RMB 64.9 billion) in 2022, and it will not turn losses into profits until 2023.
