EasyJet Extends Daily Flight Cancellation Chaos

With tens of thousands of travellers still stranded after a weekend of flight disruption, easyJet has revealed it will continue to cancel dozens of flights - most of them to and from its main base, London Gatwick.

A spokesperson told The Independent: "Given the ongoing challenging operating environment that airlines and airports are seeing, we do expect to see a daily impact with advance cancellations similar to the levels in recent days - likely around 30 or so. We'll continue to monitor the situation closely and take action in advance where possible."

Passengers are likely to be notified three days before their flights if it is selected for pre-emptive cancellation. The airline is telling passengers: "For the latest updates to your flight, please monitor the flight tracker within three days of your flight."

The Independent has already identified easyJet cancellations made for today, including the 6.20am flight from Gatwick to Valencia and the final departure of the day from Gatwick to Malaga.
