Luggage chaos at Heathrow Airport in England (Photo: YouTube)

Did you think that pilots are also immune to the loss of luggage, as has recently happened to passengers around the world?

It turns out that pilots and air crew members flying from Heathrow Airport in west London, have now been asked to refrain from checking in their luggage on the flights they work on, as there is a real risk that these will be lost.

This stern warning, issued by a number of major airlines based in Heathrow, including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, came amid the fact that the airport-operating company continues to experience difficulties with the cargo handling system - causing thousands of suitcases not to arrive To their husbands.

Today (Monday) Heathrow Airport admitted that "service levels were unacceptable" and that passengers had to endure "delayed queue times, delays of passengers with reduced mobility, bags not arriving at their owners and passengers arriving late".

"We would like to apologize to all the passengers affected by this," the airport said in a statement.

This, while insisting that the vast majority of passengers received a "good level of service".

From now to now: cancel 60 flights immediately

The apology came just hours after Heathrow demanded that airlines cancel more than 60 last-minute flights, as the airport does not have the capacity to handle the projected number of passengers it is expected to pass on that day.

An airport spokesman said the cancellations only affected airlines using Terminal 3 and Terminal 5. "We apologize for the impact on travel plans, and we are working closely with airlines so that affected passengers can board other flights," the world media reported. .

Despite reports of huge queues for security checks, which often even stretched outside the terminal buildings, the airport insists that the number of security personnel working there is approaching their number in the summer seasons before the corona plague.

However, it was reported that a shortage of ground service workers employed by the airlines "could pose a risk in managing some of the activity".

Against this background, the British Airways airline is now offering a bonus of £ 1,000 (approximately NIS 4,140) that will be granted to new employees who will join the company in certain ground service positions at the airport.
