EASYJET have cancelled more flights, creating more chaos at airports today as travel disruption continues to anger Brits across the UK.
Another 72 EasyJet flights were cancelled today, with the majority of them taking off from Gatwick airport.
Britain’s biggest budget airline is unable to crew the schedule it has planned from the Sussex airport, and is cancelling around 30 flights daily at a few days’ notice.
According to The Independent, British Airways has also cancelled more than 100 short-haul flights from its main base, London Heathrow airport.
Another airline cancelling flights was TUI – with several flights cancelled. The airline plans to cancel around 200 flights throughout June.
Meanwhile, airline lobbyist Willie Walsh has criticised transport secretary Grant Shapps for having blamed the aviation industry for hundreds of cancelled flights.
The director-general of the International Air Transport Association said Mr Shapps has been “absolutely useless in his approach to the coronavirus crisis”.
At a conference in Paris on Tuesday he also said: “Since the beginning of the pandemic, as minister of transport, he’s done nothing for the industry.”
