Flight cancellations – live: easyJet and BA cancel more flights as Eurostar warns of disruption
British holidaymakers hoping to jet off this week are being advised to arrive early – but not too early – to the airport and bring hand luggage only if possible.
The week’s flight cancellations continue with easyJet cancelling at least 36 domestic and European flights on Thursday to and from its biggest base, London Gatwick.
British Airways has cancelled more than 120 short-haul flights to and from its main base, London Heathrow airport.
BA says the flight cancellations are pre-planned and that passengers were given advance notice.
Meanwhile passengers hoping for a smoother train journey into Europe have also encountered disruption, with Eurostar’s services being heavily delayed due to a fatality on the tracks in France.
The company posted a statement on social media saying: “Due to a fatality in Northern France our services are experiencing disruptions. Please arrive at the station at the time stated on your ticket. If you miss your onward connection please speak to a member of our staff. We apologise for the impact this may have on your plans.”
