EasyJet has cancelled around 40 flights a day between now and the end of the month. Britain's biggest budget airline is axing 400 further flights nationwide as holidaymakers take off for their summer trips.
In a message to staff seen by The Guardian, the airline is pre-emptively scrapping the flights to try and overcome staffing issues. EasyJet's chief operating officer Peter Bellew said: “Making these cancellations is not something we take lightly but what’s worse is to cancel our customers’ plans on the day that they are ready to fly."
In a report on Birmingham Live, an easyJet spokesperson said: "Due to the ongoing impact of the challenging operating environment on our daily operations, we have made a small proportion of additional advance flight cancellations for June.
