Major travel disruption is expected to continue this weekend as the Easter getaway begins. Flights are still being cancelled by airlines, while airports have warned travellers to expect lengthy queues for check-in and security.
Ferry operators are also struggling to meet demand after P&O suspended services with long queues of lorries stuck on roads approaching Dover. Meanwhile, transport secretary Grant Shapps has urged travel operators to step up their efforts to get people away with as little disruption as possible.
Travel operators are struggling with staff shortages and Covid-related absences, leading to long delays for passengers. Manchester Airport has warned passengers to expect queues of up to 90 minutes due to staff shortages.
