Affected by factors such as the epidemic, the phenomenon of "labor shortage" in the UK recently is extremely prominent. A large number of passenger congestion and flights have been canceled in airports in various places.

Data show that in the past two weeks, hundreds of flights in the UK have been canceled.

The tragedy took place at noon on June 15, local time, and the male passenger and wife landed at Gatwick Airport in Britain. Gatwick Airport is located in Sedisic County, England.

It is reported that the couple are all disabled, and they need the help of staff to get off the plane. Due to insufficient manpower, the staff first took his wife and left him on the plane.

According to the "Sun" report, the staff speculated afterwards that he should be impatient and decided to enter the terminal, but he accidentally fell from the escalator and died unfortunately after serious injuries.

It is said that at least three disabled people in the airport needed to help that day.

Just a week ago, Gatwick Airport just apologized to Victoria Bridnell, who had just paralyzed his limbs, and waited 90 minutes on the plane before waiting to help her staff.

Gatwick Airport is only one of the chaotic airports in the UK.

At the well -known British Henhero Airport, BBC senior disabled reporter Frank Gedner was also left on the plane. He was told that "no staff" helped him get off the plane. He waited for a few hours before taking a wheelchair.

According to the Daily Mail, the nightmare of British travelers will continue. In recent weeks, many British airports have fallen in trouble. It has become a headline news for local media. Flights are often canceled at the last moment, and luggage stays hundreds of miles away, and passengers have become the norm. Some passengers were forced to sleep on the floor of the airport for a long time delayed flight.

Experts said that airlines could not respond to this demand at all, and he warned this "nightmare" interruption may last a year.

At present, British Airlines has canceled some hundreds of flights flying to the United States and Far East, affecting the plans of thousands of passengers.

The airport union stated: "All personnel are in a state of long -term shortage, and the current wages of the industry are very poor, so that workers are unwilling to work."

Many airport staff were asked to work overtime. The union warned: "Relying on employees to work overtime, it is impossible to be a long -term plan to solve problems."

Senior Tourism Editor, Rori Bland, told the Times: "We have seen passengers' long lines and confusion in the airport, and we have not reached a peak."
