The airport apologises as travellers face long waits when both departing and arriving.
One man tweeted he had been sitting on a plane at the airport for more than an hour due to a lack of ground staff.
Staffs shortages are behind the delays, the airport's chief executive Nick Barton said, as many aviation industries lost nearly half their workforce during the pandemic."There are moments when the standards which we would be used to at Birmingham are not being met but [passengers] are making the flight and are getting back safely," Mr Barton added.
Mr Barton said a small number of their flights have been affected by the fuel protests and they have moved to contingency plans.
