Passengers booked on 240 easyJet flights to and from Gatwick over the next 10 days are being told their flights have been cancelled. The airline also grounded at least 20 more UK flights yesterday at short notice - affecting upwards of 3,000 passengers. It follows Thursday's IT systems issues which saw around 30,000 passengers fail to reach their destinations.
Earlier in the week, easyJet had grounded a dozen flights to and from Gatwick, its biggest base. The destinations affected included Amsterdam, Rome, Madrid and Barcelona. Now, at the end of a chaotic few days for Britain's biggest budget airline, The Independent has learnt that easyJet has made a late decision to cancel many more flights from Gatwick.
