Staff shortages in UK airports could delay the industry’s recovery at a time when international trips are set to "dramatically" increase, according to analytics firm GlobalData. 

Total domestic and outbound visits in August from the UK are projected to be more than double the total number of visits in April

In a bid to combat the delays, GlobalData said Manchester Airports Group (MAG) increased the number of active jobs available on its career pages, with open positions increasing from 65 in December to 110 in February. Only 36 positions were closed in this period.

According to GlobalData, total domestic and outbound visits in August from the UK are projected to be more than double the total number of visits in April.
