Travellers are facing another week of disruption after budget airline easyJet cancelled more flights to and from Northern Ireland on Tuesday.
Passengers were left stranded after the airline cancelled services between Belfast and the likes of Gatwick and Newcastle.
To and from Belfast International Airport, its main base, the airline has reportedly grounded links to Birmingham, Glasgow, Newcastle and London Stansted.

Meanwhile London Gatwick flights are grounded to and from Belfast City Airport.
It comes as the airline continues to struggle with staff shortages.
easyJet, Wizz Air, Tui and British Airways have all cancelled flights recently due to industry problems while many airports and airlines have struggled to recruit new staff to fill gaps from the pandemic.
When contacted by Belfast Live, a spokesperson for easyJet said: "easyJet is operating up to 1700 flights a day across the network carrying up to a quarter of a million customers a day. There are industry wide operational issues that are impacting airlines at the moment, which means we have made a number of pre-emptive cancellations.
"As you would expect we are working with all our partners and continuously reviewing the operation to ensure we deliver for our customers."
Over the weekend, easyJet pilots warned that the travel company faces an exodus of customers after "unprecedented chaos" at the airline.
In a leaked letter, French pilots accused the budget airline of cancelling viable flights and suffering “operational meltdowns” after its top executives failed to heed warnings that the carrier could not cope with surging demands.
In response, the easyJet branch of the French SNPL pilots’ union wrote a letter in which the airline is blamed for the disruption.
It also warns that the chaos has not reached its peak, something it calls a “frightening prospect”.
The pilots also raised the issue of the impact on air crew of stress caused by the pandemic and subsequent disruption, calling for extra support and saying “mental health is at stake”.
In response to the letter, easyJet said: “easyJet has a continuous and open dialogue with our unions and is aware of the letter issued by SNPL and will be responding directly to them.
“Delivering a safe and reliable operation for our customers and crew is the airline’s highest priority and the evidence from our safety reporting system shows no deterioration in flight safety as a result of the current operating environment.”
