A new Government plan to tackle flight disruption this summer has been unveiled. The strategy is aimed at avoiding summer holiday chaos with the peak school holiday season about to begin.
The 22-point plan was unveiled on a day when there were scenes of “total chaos” at Heathrow, after the airport ordered the cancellation of 30 flights. Some passengers did not find out their flights were cancelled until they arrived at what is the UK’s busiest airport.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said there is “no excuse for widespread disruption” and holidaymakers “deserve certainty”. Tens of thousands of passengers have suffered flight cancellations and huge queues at airports in recent months.
