Around 50,000 passengers at Copenhagen Airport today are facing travel chaos in terms of either canceled or delayed flights, due to a shortage of staff, especially air traffic controllers, who bear a large part of the responsibility for the safety of air traffic. Their work in coordinating flights, monitoring traffic, and issuing instructions to pilots is essential for passengers to move from one point to another safely and on time. However, there is a significant shortage of staff for this task, which has led to a conflict between the staff and their management.
Although the weekend looked a little better for many travelers, today looks very different, especially for those departing and arriving after 4 pm, due to the likelihood of significant delays.
According to DR, the traffic manager at Copenhagen Airport expects departures and arrivals today to face delays of up to two hours. Hundreds of thousands of passengers at Copenhagen Airport have already been affected by delays since last April, according to the traffic manager's estimates, with significant variations from day to day.
Conflict between employees and management
تتولى Naviair إدارة حركة الطيران في الدنمارك، وبعد فترة كورونا لم تتمكن Naviair من توظيف عدد مراقبي الحركة الجوية المطلوب، وأدى ذلك إلى أن الكثيرين اضطروا إلى أخذ مناوبات إضافية ولكن الآن لم يعودوا يريدون ذلك. وكان هناك مفاوضون محترفون بين مراقبي الحركة الجوية – الذين تم تنظيمهم في جمعية Datca المهنية – و Naviair، ولكن انهارت تلك المفاوضات يوم الثلاثاء.
In general, it is difficult to predict whether there will be delays in take-off and landing times at Copenhagen Airport, as the situation varies from day to day, with the company knowing its operational capacity each morning.
In general, the consequences of a shortage of air traffic control staff are indeed a costly and burdensome bill for the airport, as many drivers, baggage handlers, and other important roles that make up the airport are affected.
The training period for an air traffic controller takes three years and, in addition to a secondary education, requires good health and normal vision. The training, which takes place primarily in the control tower, is provided by the Naviair Air Traffic Control Service and the Air Force.
What about summer vacation?
زيادة الحركة الجوية وزيادة عدد الركاب في المطارات مع موسم الصيف يوشي بالفعل بفوضى في رحلات العطلة الصيفية إذا ما استمر الصراع على حاله، وبحسب تصريح مدير المرور في مطار كوبنهاجن لموقع DR: “أخشى أنه إذا لم يحلوا هذا الصراع، فإننا نتجه إلى صيف حيث سيكون لدينا تأخيرات وإلغاءات كبيرة للغاية داخل وخارج كوبنهاجن”.
