Gatwick axes thousands of summer flights
Gatwick Airport is drastically limiting flights this summer due to the acute staff shortages that have plagued travellers for weeks.
It means 4,000 flights will be cut until September.
The airport will cap the number of flights to 825 in July and 850 in August.
About 900 daily flights normally operate during the summer peak.
The aim is a ‘more reliable and better standard of service,’ airport officials say.
It allows airlines to better manage expectations and make for a smoother operation.
It will impact as many as 800,000 holidaymakers.
“”We have now successfully recruited 400 new colleagues to help us process passengers quickly through security this summer,” Gatwick Airport CEO Stewart Wingate said.
“We are also working closely with our airlines to avoid disruption to passengers this summer, and while more newly recruited staff will start work in coming weeks, we know it will be a busy summer.”
“We are also working closely with our airlines to avoid disruption to passengers this summer.”
