TUI to contact 34,000 customers 'by end of day' to cancel Manchester flights

Around 34,000 TUI passengers hoping to fly from Manchester Airport over the next month will have their holiday plans crushed.

The travel operator has slashed a number of flights do leave the airport to tackle staff shortages and 'ongoing disruption'. TUI say they have taken the drastic step, which will decimate half-term and summer plans for around 34,000 people, in a bid to help resolve the ‘issues’ which have caused flight delays, cancellations and baggage problems in recent days.

TUI has declined to answer our sister paper, the Manchester Evening News, in its requests for a list of those services impacted, but have confirmed that they will be contacting all affected customers by text or email by the end of today (Tuesday, May 31).
