"They have treated them with complete contempt": MPs slam TUI over flight cancellations and lack of transparency

MPs have slammed TUI after the airline announced they were cancelling nearly 200 flights from Manchester Airport over the next month - but declined to say which ones.

The holiday operator said earlier it was pulling 186 flights, a total of six a day and 43 a week, due to staff shortages and other "ongoing challenges" in their operation at Manchester Airport - understood to be the only hub in the country impacted by the planned raft of cancellations.

It means the holiday plans of 34,000 passengers are to be left in tatters. The firm has declined to answer the Manchester Evening News’ requests for a list of those services impacted, instead simply saying they will be contacting all affected customers by text or email by the end of today.
