Passenger numbers will return to pre-pandemic levels, meaning this summer will be the busiest since 2019. Europeans are still going on holidays despite the cost-of-living issues, hoping this time will be better than in 2022. But the problems passengers had last summer might come back in 2023. Staff shortages caused significant disruption, with half of the flights running late and nearly 2,000 cancellations daily. The industry insists it's ready, but too many travelers may need help.
In 2023, air transportation will be immensely challenging due to supply chain troubles, probable labor unrest, airspace inaccessibility, sector roadblocks, heightened demand, and system alterations. Michael O'Leary, the CEO of Ryanair, foresees flight delays and cancellations this summer, and airports are introducing countermeasures such as passenger limits to deal with the lack of personnel. French Air Traffic Control workers are escalating their work stoppages, which could lead to a continental disorder, as airport and airline personnel dispute compensation and labor rules.
