In recent weeks airports and airlines all over the world have struggled with the impact of staff shortages as a result of sickness from increased levels of coronavirus. From massive disruptions resulting in long queues at Manchester Airport, to easyJet being forced to cancel over 200 flights this weekend, and a further 62 on Monday (April 4).
Travellers looking to get away for the Easter break could also expect more chaos as easyJet are expected to cancel more flights.
A spokesperson for easyJet said: "As a result of the current high rates of COVID infections across Europe, like all businesses easyJet is experiencing higher than usual levels of employee sickness. We have taken action to mitigate this through the rostering of additional standby crew this weekend, however, with the current levels of sickness, we have also decided to make some cancellations in advance which were focused on consolidating flights where we have multiple frequencies so customers have more options to rebook their travel, often on the same day."
