Ground handling is always poor worlwide. Everything is run on a shoestring, staff pay is poor and therefore retention hard. Equipment is often breaking down, due to age.

I think nationalisation is not the answer, but maybe checks(like MOTs) on mechanized equipment and vehicles would be a start. All airside equipment should be electric (green) and subsidised by government grant over next 4 years.

Airports should have tried and tested procedures in place for 1) Manual check-in and 2) bagage belt breakdown.

On a seperate point. Why european Dispatchers pretty girls and UK staffed by swarthy blokes who got the job from a bloke down the pub?
