More than 280 flights were cancelled yesterday, the day after the air traffic control systems failure.
It is just the latest attempt to mop up some of the mess caused by the worst failure of UK air traffic control in at least a decade, which led to hundreds of journeys being delayed or cancelled at the start of the week.
The issue meant all flight plans had to be processed manually, resulting in significant disruption for all flights heading in or out of the UK. This consisted of 75 at Gatwick, 74 at Heathrow, 63 at Manchester, 28 at Stansted, 23 at Luton and 18 at Edinburgh.In a statement, easyJet said: ‘During this traditionally very busy week for travel, options for returning to the UK are more limited on some routes and so easyJet will be operating five repatriation flights to London Gatwick over the coming days from Palma and Faro on August 30, and Tenerife and Enfidha on August 31 and from Rhodes on September 1.
