Airports urged to bring down stress levels  
Destinations  
   

Mr. Andrew Cornish, the managing director of Manchester Airport, has said that air travellers are dealing with inaptly extreme levels of stress when passing through the terminals of the country, which are quite right now and passengers are quite stressed.

The airport's managing director said that the once attractive impression of air travel had been changed by the sceptre of worry and fear due to strict security procedures and serious delays.

He warned that the latest restrictions on carry-on baggage, especially in relation to electronic items and liquids, took the chance of putting a large number of travellers off flying.

Although the airport official shielded the roll-out of strict security procedures in view of international events, he stressed that the industry depends on the satisfaction of travellers to keep it floating.

Mr. Cornish argued that that meant that there was a need to do more to make air travel stress-free, particularly given airports' greater dependence than before on retail earnings in the critical economic situation.

Mr. Cornish said, "You had a situation where someone could fly into London in the morning, with two bags, heading back out the country later that day being told they could only have one".

"In some airports laptops must come out the bags and others they don't - it is important to remove this confusion wherever possible and we need to work together and lobby to ensure this is the case", he further said.
