Airlines ordered to pro-actively cancel summer flights now
Airlines should waste no time in cancelling flights for peak summer to minimise travel disruption, government officials say.
The Department for Transport and Civil Aviation Authority warned carriers to scrap flights now that they can’t deliver so holidaymakers can avoid day of departure misery.
Cancellations by airlines such as British Airways, easyJet TUI and Wizz Air have left thousands of customers stranded in recent weeks.
In a joint letter the Department for Transport and Civil Aviation Authority wrote: “Cancellations at the earliest possibility to deliver a more robust schedule are better for consumers than late on-the-day cancellations.”
“You and all those involved in delivering aviation services will take all possible steps to prepare for and manage passenger demand that helps to avoid the unacceptable scenes we have recently witnessed.”
“It is important that each airline reviews its plans for the remainder of the summer season until the end of September to develop a schedule that is deliverable.”
Some airline blamed Brexit but that was rejected by Aviation Minister Robert Courts.
