Düsseldorf Airport, Cologne/Bonn and Co: Plan against travel chaos – green light for THIS measure
show description
Vacationers need strong nerves these days. Whether on Dusseldorf Airport or Cologne/ Bonn – anywhere whenever you stand in long lines and plan a lot of waiting time. The reason for this is the long-standing staff shortage at the airports – also beyond NRW.
Now, however, help for the Dusseldorf Airportcave Airport Cologne/ Bonn and Co. come. Some time ago, the government expected a measure to relieve employees and vacationers. Now there was the green light.
Düsseldorf Airport, Cologne/Bonn and Co: Politicians react to travel chaos – YOU should help now
Conditions at airports have been chaotic for weeks. The massive shortage of staff is particularly noticeable at peak times in the company, most recently at the beginning of the summer holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia. But now help should finally come.

Minister of Transport Wissing (FDP), Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) and Minister of Labor Hubertus Heil (SPD) jointly announce the plans. “This is a problem that we have throughout Europe,” says Wissing. “There is a lack of specialists at the companies that organize ground handling and in the area of security checks. It’s a difficult issue because only the private sector can bring back the skilled workers it lost in the pandemic. “
That is why the government will now use unskilled workers from abroad, especially from Turkey. They are to assist the local staff with baggage handling and check-in.

Düsseldorf Airport, Cologne/Bonn and Co: Green light for unskilled workers from Turkey
SO THAT the additional staff can be instructed as quickly as possible, the ministers are already working flat out. “We issue the necessary residence and work permits very quickly. My house has already declared itself ready to do this,” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser assured. The laborers would have to “experience the same strong background checks as everyone else.”

And Minister of Labor Hubertus Heil guarantees “that wages are paid according to collective agreements and that there is no wage dumping”, and thus no temporary work either. “We expect – and it will have to be checked by the state authorities – that the people who come to us during the time they are here will be accommodated humanely and not packed in any huts.”
Now the Federal Employment Agency has given the green light for the temporary application of 2000 airport employees from Turkey. The special regulation is limited and only applies to employment contracts that end with a delay on November 6, as the federal agency announced on Wednesday. The German diplomatic representations in Turkey no longer have to obtain a permit from the Federal Agency for employment at a German airport in each individual case. This is reported by the German Press Agency.
The recruitment of Turkish airport staff is expected to alleviate the staffing problems that have led to numerous delays and complaints from angry passengers. Only employees who have already worked at an airport in Turkey may be hired. The employers’ association of ground handling service providers in aviation (ABL) had asked the federal agency to enable the use of 2,000 Turkish workers in flight handling on the ground.

The interior minister also asked the airports to help with alternative ways of easing the situation. For example, the “fast lanes” should be opened up for more passengers. “This is also relaxing and ensures fewer queues at the security check,” says Faeser. In addition, if possible, travelers should “avoid the peak times and thus equalize the air traffic somewhat”. (mbo, alp with dpa)
