either they have found jobs to work remotely or in general found other jobs. There were many so many online and home businesses that also. This means that people have now found things they love to do and to make money out of it.
The problem is that the airports in Australia and the airlines are finding it hard to find staff which means that there are more cancellations, poor service and just a general backlog of work that take more time to get done. Passengers are left unhappy and disgruntled and the complains are piling up sky high.
Geoff Culbert the Chief Executive of the Sydney airport commented the following “The passenger recovery is encouraging but it continues to track ahead of the workforce recovery, [Australian Bureau of Statistics] data released last week shows that aviation continues to be the most affected industry from an employment perspective, with air transport jobs 31% down on pre-COVID levels. Everyone across the industry is working hard to rebuild their teams, but with the ongoing labour shortages it’s going to take time.”
According to Sydney Airport, it saw 8.3 million total passengers during in July 2022, down 26.3% from July 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic. Although still down on 2019, the July figure marked a massive 27-fold jump over July 2021, when travel restrictions weighed down Australia’s domestic and international traffic. Compared with July 2019, domestic passengers fell 16.6% to 2 million, while international passengers fell 42.4% to 844,000.
