The summer vacation season is in full swing. The travel industry has finally managed to return to pre-doc level. However, this year's tourist season is not recovering from the problems. Travelers are suffering from an abnormal heat wave and a serious water shortage. Now another problem has appeared on the horizon - disruptions in air traffic control services.

What problems do tourists face? 


Due to the crisis in air traffic control services and unfavorable weather conditions, tourists should prepare for large-scale cancellations of summer flights. 

Eddie Wilson, CEO of Ryanair DAC, reported serious problems in air traffic control services that began to appear after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. 


April, May and early June of this tourist season showed good results. But over the past 2 weeks, there have been numerous problems with organization and staffing. As a result, the number of delays by the dispatch service has increased by 30%. This situation has brought many problems to both passengers and airlines. Tourists should take this fact into account when planning their summer travels.


Remember! Protecting your life and health while traveling and on vacation should be a priority for every tourist. It is especially important now because due to extreme temperatures, there is a high risk of both diseases and injuries. You can take out insurance that will be valid throughout Europe on the Visit Ukraine portal at this link. Do not neglect your safety, health, and wallet!


We remind you! The European airline Lufthansa Group will now add a new environmental fee to the ticket price, which will significantly affect the cost of the flight. Read more about new prices and destinations from Lufthansa Group.
