British Airways, the UK's flag carrier, has announced that it will cancel more than 10,000 flights until the end of October in the latest blow for passengers this summer.
The cuts will run from the beginning of August until the end of October and are all short-haul, with long-haul unaffected in this round of cancellations, BA has said.

In total 13% of BA flights will have been cancelled this summer.
BA has been ravaged by cancellations and delays this summer as it struggles to get flights in the air and services running on time amid serious staff shortages.
A spokesperson for the airline said: "The whole aviation industry continues to face into significant challenges and we're completely focussed on building resilience into our operation to give customers the certainty they deserve.
"The Government recently decided to give the whole industry slot alleviation to minimise potential disruption this summer. While taking further action is not where we wanted to be, it's the right thing to do for our customers and our colleagues.
"This new flexibility means that we can further reduce our schedule and consolidate some of our quieter services so that we can protect as many of our holiday flights as possible.
"While most of our flights are unaffected and the majority of customers will get away as planned, we don't underestimate the impact this will have and we're doing everything we can to get their travel plans back on track.
"We're in touch to apologise and offer rebooking options for new flights with us or another airline as soon as possible or issue a full refund.
"In the Spring the airline reduced its schedule by 10% until October, in a bid to get those remaining flights running smoothly."
How to check if your British Airways flight is cancelled
You can look out for last-minute cancellations by using the British Airways travel checker. You can check the status of your flight in three different ways using the travel checker.
Simply input either the route, flight number or airport into the travel checker before you travel, in case your flight has been hit by cancellations.
You can also keep an eye on your flight's status through the British Airways app, which is available on the App Store and Google Play. Other features of the app include quick check-in and downloading boarding passes for connecting flights which are accessible as soon as you have checked in for your first flight.
If your British Airways flight is delayed, you should be notified in advance by the airline, giving you time to rebook or request a full refund.
