Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

The Deputy is absolutely right that it is part and parcel of running any operation. We now have 850 people in the security team. We have hired more people across the operational team. I am confident about where we are at with staffing levels. Of course, one builds in an element of resilience to cover absence or whatever happens in any big operation. We are confident with the staff numbers we have so that we are able to go out and issue the travel advisory that we have issued: for short- or long-haul flights people should be at the airport terminal two or three hours prior. That is just us saying that we are there and we have the right number of staff to operate in the summer. Our goal is to get 90% of people through security in 20 minutes or less. So far in May we have had 95% through in 20 minutes or less. The performance is good. This will be our third weekend of the big step up in the summer, with two very good weekends under our belts, but two weekends do not make a summer. We will never be complacent. There will be a couple of challenging times but that is the case in every airport. No airport would sit here and say they would guarantee that every single morning is going to be plain sailing.
