Passengers praise the Edelweiss Air pilot for moving up and down (Photo: Reuters/Robin Irwin)

Amidst the turmoil of traveling to the UK, pilots were helping baggage handlers at Edinburgh airport.

This video shows a hardworking worker loading a conveyor belt before the Edelweiss Air flight to Zurich is delayed.

Passenger Robin Irwin filmed these exploits from his seat, sharing clips on Twitter and calling the pilot “excellent.”

“This is diligent!” he added.

The pilots appeared at the graveyard on Sunday and flights to the UK were severely affected by staff shortages at the airport.

At Edinburgh Airport today, only easyJet flights have been canceled at Stansted Airport, but not elsewhere.

Heathrow Terminals 2 and 3 were asked to cancel 10% of their flights today, but easyJet confirms it will suspend more flights from Gatwick Airport later this summer.

This may seem odd, but he’s not the first pilot to help load during a travel delay.

TUI’s second pilot was also filmed with a suitcase at Manchester Airport earlier this month.

After thousands of employees have been laid off during a pandemic, airports and airlines are struggling to deal with the number of passengers.

The boss of Manchester airport kicked off the mass employment process after laying off 900 employees and forcing all workers to cut wages by 10% during several lockdowns.

But it’s too late for an angry consumer who has spent thousands of pounds on holidays.

Other airports, such as Heathrow, have also been devastated by post-pandemic demand.

Over the weekend, a sea of ​​suitcases was seen behind one of the terminals as staff suffered from “current problems with the baggage system”.

Heathrow airport said it is working with airlines to connect passengers and bags, but the issue is currently being resolved.

The government has urged travel officials to give customers sufficient warning rather than stop flights on the day of departure.

An Edelweiss Air spokesperson told:

The fact that our pilot actively supported his colleagues on the ground at Edinburgh airport allowed the flight to land in Zurich in a timely manner.

“This example is an exception. Pilot flight readiness and safety are always priorities. Of course, that is the case.”
