Jet2 has axed some of its summer flights as part of a review of services and demand.
Services to Amsterdam and Jersey have been cancelled in the move, which the travel operator said has no connection to recent reports of airport chaos. Flights affected in July and August include those to Amsterdam from Birmingham and Leeds Bradford airports (LBA).
Two flights a week were programmed from Birmingham and four from LBA but they have temporarily been cancelled following the routine review of services. Last week, Jet2 announced it had suspended flights to Jersey from Manchester and other airports following a similar review, WalesOnline reports.

An airline spokesperson said: “Following the latest review, we have taken the decision, in consultation with Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, to withdraw July and August services to Amsterdam from Birmingham and Leeds Bradford airports. Our programme to Amsterdam is scheduled to recommence in September.
“Where customers are affected, we will contact them to let them know and they will receive a full refund. It is important to note that this decision has nothing to do with staff shortages that are currently impacting other airlines, and withdrawn flights were not due to depart until June 30 at the earliest.”
The airline is scheduled to operate three flights a week from Manchester to Jersey, but these will be discontinued from June 28.
Services linking Birmingham and London Stansted with the Channel Island will be reduced from two weekly flights to one from early July. Jet2 will continue to operate both its East Midlands and Newcastle to Jersey routes once a week, and its Leeds Bradford to Jersey route three times a week.
