The Verizon strike might have attained a tentative deal but it does not imply that Verizon is no longer free from scrutiny. Recent news and updates regarding Verizon showed that the tech firm has inflicted mayhem at the Kennedy airport.
A Verizon service disruption unleashed travel chaos at a terminal at Kennedy International Airport on Sunday night, grinding the check-in process to a near halt and forcing airline employees to hand-write boarding passes for thousands of unhappy passengers, reports The New York Times.
Moreover, a line of frustrated economy-class passengers could be seen stretching out the terminal doors, snaking up the sidewalk all the way back onto the elevated roadway that leads to the terminal. Inside, airline employees were writing boarding passes by hand, sometimes in pencil, as further noted by the same post.
Owing to the delay, the airport was bombarded with a lot of apologies for the inconvenience. To prove the latter, even the British Airways rendered their explanations. "We apologize for any inconvenience caused as a result of a system outage," a spokeswoman for British Airways wrote in an e-mail. "Our colleagues are working as quickly as they can to assist all customers traveling tonight."
Even though the Terminal 7 is under the operations of the British Airways, not the Port Authority, Mr. Buccino relayed that the Port Authority police officers had been dispatched to gain control over the crowd.
On a different note, a former article published by iTech Post showcased how Verizon struggled with a lot of shortcomings owing to the strike, and it has affected other enterprises and entities as well.
Nevertheless, with the strike at its end, Verizon is keeping up with the pace and gaining back its loss of control and momentum. Despite the mayhem at the Kennedy Airport, the operations went back to normal and hurdles were lessened as well.
