North Rhine-Westphalia: Queues at airports: probably no relaxation soon

Düsseldorf/Cologne (dpa/lnw) - Waiting passengers as far as the eye can see: According to a union representative, there will be no significant relaxation in waiting times at the large NRW airports during the summer holidays. At the security checkpoints, an increase in personnel is not foreseeable in the near future, said the Verdi union secretary Özay Tarim of the dpa. The company Securitas, which operates in Cologne-Bonn, emphasized that they are actively recruiting staff. But there are many corona sick reports and unexpectedly high passenger numbers. According to a company spokesman, it is not possible to say when the situation will improve. The federal police said that at the locks, thoroughness was more important than speed.
