Budget airline easyJet has axed all flights from UK airports to Hurghada in Egypt until the end of July. Bosses blamed “industry-wide operational issues” for the decision and apologised to thousands of inconvenienced passengers.
The airline has squeezed its schedule in recent weeks because of issues including staff shortages but the decision to cancel flights and holidays to the popular Red Sea resort will be a blow for many customers owing to a shortage of alternative airlines.
A spokesperson for easyJet said: “There are industry-wide operational issues that are impacting airlines at the moment, which means we have made a number of pre-emptive cancellations. This includes all flights to Hurghada from the UK for the remainder of June and July. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this will cause.
