Disruption of British aviation at the same time as the emergence of the new Omicron subspecies

According to IRNA from the Associated Press; The aviation industry has suffered a severe shortage of staff following the escalation of staff-related illnesses linked to new epidemics of the Coronavirus in the UK and labor shortages due to epidemic layoffs.

In addition to 70 previously canceled flights, British Airways has canceled at least 30 flights to and from London Gatwick Airport due to the absence of staff associated with the Corona virus and low-cost airline EasyJet. EasyJet has announced that more than 1,500 flights will be operated on Wednesday, despite more than doubling the number of crews and employees suffering from the disease due to rising epidemics across Europe.

The major airlines have canceled hundreds of flights since Sunday, the start of a two-week holiday for training centers in the country.

The pandemic has resurfaced across the UK with the rapid spread of the highly contagious B2 Omicron strain, reaching an all-time high last week, with one in 13 people infected with the virus. The daily incidence of coronavirus in the UK is at an all-time high these days, with approximately five million people currently infected with the virus in the country. The Office for National Statistics said last Friday that about 4.9 million people in the UK had coronas in the week ending March 26, up from 4.3 million the week before.

British schools have been closed for three weeks since Easter last Friday, the first holiday in which the government has lifted all coronary restrictions. The British government lifted all Cronian restrictions last month (February) despite the large number of casualties relative to the population. The free corona test, along with restrictions on the disease, has cost the government ۵ 15.7 billion.

The rapid outbreak of the coronavirus with new symptoms in the UK has left many airline staff homeless and thousands of passengers stranded at airports, with reports of long delays by other airlines in the UK.

According to IRNA on Tuesday, the British airline EasyJet, which has canceled 280 flights in the last three days, predicted that the disruption of the flight schedule will continue in the coming days. EasyJet said in a statement that as a result of high rates of coronary heart disease across Europe, the company’s employees have become more ill than other occupations.

But the chaos on the flights has made passengers dissatisfied and the protest has spread to virtual networks. One of the passengers wrote on Twitter: In the morning, 2.5 hours before my departure time, I arrived at the airport … I kept asking the staff if I would do my flight, but they just shrugged. The inspection queue is “too crowded” and no staff is available to assist.
