Flight cancellations will linger for days
Easter flight cancellations are set to drag on for days.
EasyJet says it will likely have to cancel more flights this week as it struggles with short staffing.
At least 60 flights are expected to be scrapped on Tuesday.
The pro-active cancellations are ‘to give customers notice.’
“We are contacting customers directly and providing them with their options,” the airline said.
“We expect to make similar levels of pre-emptive cancellations over the coming days, due to the ongoing high level of sickness.”
British Airways cancelled dozens of flights on Monday.
Staff recruitment has not kept pace with the air travel rebound, which has-been compounded by the high level of sickness.
Manchester and London Heathrow airports have experienced hours-long delays.
Lengthy Covid document checks are impacting passenger flows, which are causing flight delays and frustration.
Local MP Graham Stringer called on Manchester Airport management to ‘get a grip ’and sort out passenger bottlenecks swiftly.
