Steve, the Ops Director at SOU rightly has concerns that when the runway is done expansion hopefully will see pre-covid disaster levels of passengers and services return to SOU which could he says, need 2000 staff to make the airport function.
Where will he get these folk from >???
When I spoke to him in June this year at the start of the summer, he had just managed to get just over 400 staff on stream and was just ''coping'' OK even with the 7 or 8 BA Cityflyers in and out over every weekend which is of course '''peaks and troughs''' but you still need the manpower.
