TUI issues flight cancellation chaos update, saying it has 'learned from what happened'

TUI has apologised for the recent disruption that led to flights being cancelled and chaos for holidaymakers.

Flight cancellations hit passengers during the May half-term holidays, many of whom will have paid a premium to travel during the school break and four-day Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend. Staff shortages are among the reasons blamed for delays and cancellations at airports in the UK.

The issues were repeated beyond the bank holiday weekend. A flight from Newcastle to Tenerife was cancelled on Friday June 10 at 45 minutes' notice. A passenger due to fly on it labelled the way he was treated as "appaling".
