A warning has been issued by Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert team to those flying with EasyJet and TUI to reach their summer holiday destinations this year. The caution comes following the eruption of chaos at airports across the country as a result of thousands of flights being cancelled.
Between October 2021 and April 2022, British Airways cancelled around 30,000 flights, and EasyJet cancelled around 10,000 between October 2021 and July 2022. Other airlines have also been forced to cancel their flights, including Wizz Air, TUI, and Virgin Atlantic.
Staff shortages and industrial action are said to be the causes for the mass cancellations, reports the Liverpool Echo. With many unaware their holiday will not be going ahead until they reach the boarding gate, the UK Government has tried to crack down on the amount of flights being scrapped.
