Thousands of passengers’ holiday plans could be disrupted by move to pre-empt possible strike action
EasyJet has cancelled 1,700 summer flights, primarily from London Gatwick, potentially disrupting the holiday plans of thousands of passengers.
After a number of short-notice cancellations at the Sussex airport in recent days, the move will prompt fresh concern about the resilience of squeezed European airspace to deal with booming demand, with more air traffic control strikes threatened.
