Airport travel chaos to hit summer holidays and could last for 18 months

Holidaymakers arriving at airports across the country today faced further chaos after several flights were cancelled amid continuing staff shortages.

Experts warned the disruption will hit family holidays this summer and could continue for 18 months. This came as thousands of British Airways workers were balloted for industrial action, including its call centre staff in Newcastle, reports The Mirror.

Today alone, budget airline easyJet cancelled 60 services to and from the UK, Wizz Air scrapped seven flights, and British Airways cancelled 124 Heathrow flights, though the airline said affected passengers were given advance notice.
