More than 170 flights have been cancelled again on Tuesday as thousands of airline passengers face another day of disruption. EasyJet cancelled at least 35 flights on Tuesday (June 7), with Gatwick the worst affected airport, while Hungarian carrier Wizz Air axed at least seven flights due to serve UK airports.
British Airways cancelled 124 Heathrow flights, although the airline said affected passengers were given advance notice. There were reports of passengers being left in tears at Gatwick after their flights were cancelled. Diego Garcia Rodriguez, 32, a Spanish national who lives in Brighton, said: "I have seen lots of people whose flights have been cancelled, some crying and stressing out and they only got the news after having gone through the security control so they didn't know how to get out. There was no information and it was all very chaotic."
