The airport chaos in the UK affected some 20,000 passengers flying to Palma on Tuesday. There were flight delays of up to two hours and cancellations. There were 162 UK flights on Tuesday - arrivals and departures - which led to queues at both check-in and in arrivals and to repercussions for other operations, e.g. coaches to destinations. Tuesday is one of the three main transfer days of the week.

The tories are very quick to blame others for the problems but don't mention the new law which takes 3 months to get airport security clearance which is causing a lot of the staff shortages.
All this because because occasionally 15 flights arrive in Mallorca from the UK in an hour, and there's a queue at passport control. Good job they're adding a few police at PMI. We'd hate to see a collapse of the entire air travel system in Europe.
