DOHA - Global airlines wrapped up an annual summit on Tuesday by pledging to overcome operational problems that have marred the industry's recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic such as labour shortages in airports.
"Let's relax a little; yes, we have challenges, but it is not everywhere," IATA Director General Willie Walsh said, adding that the industry would be able to see its way through recent problems.a sharper than expected recovery of air travel that caught airports and many planners by surprise."There are certain airlines and airports. It's not widespread across the world. It's not every airport. It's not every day of the week.
Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said the problem in Europe was exacerbated by restrictive immigration policies. "That's something politics has to look at because again it is not an aviation problem, it is not restaurant or hospitality or hotel problem, this is the beginning of shifts of the labour market we better gear ourselves for."The airline industry expects to narrow losses this year but has raised its forecasts owing to the brisk recovery while voicing concern about rising inflation and the conflict in Ukraine.
