A strike by aviation workers in Italy has caused further disruption for holidaymakers.
Airlines cancelled dozens of flights between the UK and Italy on Wednesday, as easyJet, British Airways and Ryanair were affected. London airports saw many cancellations, as easyJet axed 20 flights from Gatwick, including departures to Bologna, Milan, Naples, Rome and Venice.
The budget airline told passengers: "Although this is outside of our control, we would like to reassure customers that we are doing all possible to minimise any disruption that may occur as a result of the strike action.” Some 14 flights between London airports and Milan were cancelled by British Airways, while Ryanair scrapped a handful of flights between Italy and Stansted.
