Travel chaos has been reported at airports across the country over the last several days, but there could be even more mayhem in the coming weeks as TUI is set to cancel hundreds of flights next month scheduled to depart from Manchester Airport.
The airline has said it will be cancelling around 43 flights a week from today (May 31) until June 30, in a bid to stop further problems from occurring. It comes after thousands of passengers have recently endured hours of delays and check-in queues so long they've snaked around the outside of airports.
Last week EasyJet and TUI cancelled an abundance of flights, while British airways advised passengers to check in their luggage a day before their flight and to consider paying out for an overnight stay close to the airport. Over the weekend just gone, police officers were drafted into Manchester Airport to inform TUI travellers that their flights had been cancelled.
