At the weekend, flights to and from Salzburg by the Lufthansa subsidiary Eurowings were canceled at short notice, such as those to Cologne, Corfu or Lamezia Terme in Calabria.
According to eyewitnesses, hundreds of passengers, some of them families with children, had to stay on the ground on Sunday morning.
The reason for the chaos is a lack of staff at the airlines. There is a lack of employees at the counters, in passenger checks, in aircraft handling and among the flight attendants. The reason for the lack of staff is Corona, so many would have reoriented their careers during the lockdowns. The airlines therefore recommend contacting the travel agency or tour operator before departure to determine whether the flight is taking place as scheduled. You should plan more time at the airport, as check-in can take longer.
