Customers whose easyJet flights were cancelled due to an IT failure are being urged to seek compensation. Nine flights were cancelled from Manchester Airport, while more than 200 were disrupted across the UK on Thursday.
The budget airline has apologised to the thousands of passengers impacted by the issue and has confirmed that engineers fixed the problem. Some holidaymakers were stranded abroad and complained about the lack of notice given about the disruption.
