You would guess that hiring cleaning staff would be quicker, so that is a bit shocking, indeed.

This is also a very valid point. After the lockdowns, employable people are wary of taking a job that may be cut when the next lockdown takes place. One of many negative effects of the lockdowns is that places like airports, hotels, and restaurants have a tough time finding good staff. We just have to get used to the fact that the tourism and hospitality industry is going down the drain.

I'm not sure about Sweden, but in Norway, profits from Gardermoen are used to finance smaller Avinor airports that can't stand on their own legs.

Same applies to other special tasks. Sure, it's a bit less efficient when it comes to scheduling, but certainly better than the current mess.
While this is probably true, it wouldn't matter much in the grand scheme of things. The whole process will take about three months anyway. Why not train your staff for every eventuality while you're waiting for the uniforms to arrive?
