A lack of security staff is being blamed for delays and boarding problems at Leeds Bradford Airport.

Passengers have described "total chaos", hours-long queues and missed flights at a short-staffed airport.

Dennis Hall, from Yarm, described his check-in experience at Leeds last Friday as "a disaster" and said he waited more than three hours to board his flight to Greece. Sarah Dreier, from Castleford, said she missed her flight to Fuerteventura despite arriving at the airport three hours before take-off.

It they don't like brexit queues ... and rubbing shoulders with the gammon they should fly by private jet Benefits: - avoid large airports + plebs + their germs - no rush to meet your check-in time - limo drives you to the aircraft - nicer people

And to think that they wanted to build an extension-utter disgrace treating customers like third class citizens . Get a grip !

Pathetic

Another knock on from poor management decisions, too many companies are hiring to tick box’s without capturing the ability to do the job, it is not a race or sexist comment, but a true representation of current times. Start making these so called executives accountable or get rid

Another British success

Gotta love Brexit - don’t let anyone tell you otherwise THAT is the key factor in all of this.

I wonder where you might be able to fill holes in the labour market. Perhaps from the free trade area super close to us. It's not like we told them all to f*ck off.

Flights operators pay airport fees so they want as many bus on seats and maximum flights. But staff not as qualified as 2 years if lockdown means training on hold. New rules on passports etc. It only going to get worse so pack folding chair and rations for camping at aurport

so

Another side effect of the disaster that was lockdown.

Third world country

Lack of security at regional airport but we will protect Finland. JohnsonOut106

it's going to get worse as the new biometric rules come in mater this year. Britain at its best

Get a grip you're not at Stalingrad

Tempted to just book a one way flight out of this dump. Rubbish this country atm!

What the hell is going on with our country, everything going to pot.

I’d be crying if I couldn’t leave too..
