Way too many idle employees at #entebbeairport with way too much time on their hands, always a sure recipe for failure of services and traveler flow. From getting out of the vehicle to boarding the aircraft, you meet employees idling around. A leaner airport would be better.
Security check at the entrance that doesn’t check a thing. Parking people that accost you with notebooks to fill in and sign. Trolley people asking to push your luggage. Passport and ticket flipper at the entrance to the tent. Covid flippers on their phones with acrylic nails.
Honestly how can you be efficient if you need to type accurately on a mobile phone and you have acrylic nails of almost two inches? Does anyone check these ladies? Then, someone clogging the tiny entrance door where you pass with luggage while the guy pushes the train of trolleys
Scanning the luggage, there’s always someone trying to pick your luggage and put on the scanner for you - which is a security risk as you must handle your own luggage by law and common sense - then the people watching you pass the scanner, if they are two it’s fast but any more -
More than two manning each scan point, you can be sure of a long queue because they are busy conversing and nothing moves. Then comes another passport and ticket flipper checking your visas, then finally you can get to the check-in counter. Again, extra persons add inefficiency
Immigration usually has two officers irrespective of the number of flights but they are efficient, technology permitting. At the gate, if there are two passport and ticket flippers, there is useless gossip and a queue. Then they flip your passport again at exit, and finally
Someone has to lead the crowd to the aircraft, then another flips your boarding pass at the steps and finally the crew needs your boarding pass to show you to your seat. From the security gate to your seat you have thirteen interactions, half of them unnecessary.
