Travel company TUI has cancelled several UK flights as disruption hits airports across the UK.
Many airports have seen chaotic scenes in recent weeks due to staff shortages, and it's expected that the situation will get worse over this weekend with the arrival of the half-term holidays, reports Wales Online. easyJet has already confirmed the cancellation of more than 200 flights, including domestic flights connecting Newcastle to Bristol.
And now TUI has been forced to follow suit, cancelling a 'small number' of flights and seeing delays at Birmingham, Gatwick and Manchester airport. Newcastle Airport, from which TUI operates direct flights to Spain, Turkey and Italy, among others, is operating flights as normal this afternoon (Saturday).
