TUI will be axing 186 flights from Manchester Airport as thousands of passengers affected will be notified by the end of the day (May 31), said the carrier.
The cuts are a bid to manage staff shortages and 'ongoing disruption' that have also led to baggage problems and delays.
TUI said customers due to fly over the 'coming days' were notified last night, while the rest will be informed 'later today' by text or email.
