German Transport Minister Volker Wissing noted the problem of lack of staff in the tourism and transport industry during the holiday season.
The lack of personnel is particularly evident in air traffic, where there have been large crowds and delays at German airports on the eve of holidays.
“Here, two aspects negatively affect the development of the situation: a large number of people who finally want to rest behind the pandemic and a simultaneous lack of staff in the tourism and transport industry, which has lost a large number of employees recently --”, Wissing told Bild am Sonntag.
The staff is missing in all sectors: from passenger control, through loading luggage to cabin staff, according to Wissing.
He called for the company of a initiative to get a qualified workforce and modernise infrastructure.
Airport employees' unions estimate a current shortage of about 5,500 workers.
The problem is, it is reported that because of long - term security checks of workers employed at airports, a greater number of workers in a short period of time cannot be employed.
