EasyJet cancels hundreds of flights due to high levels of COVID-related staff sickness
Sky News says more than 200 flights were cancelled by easyJet over the weekend, leaving some passengers stranded amid travel chaos at some airports in the UK.
The budget airline blamed the cancellations on the disruption of staff shortages caused by COVID-19, with at least 222 trips axed since Friday.
It said it had made efforts to combat the shortages by “rostering” standby crew on the weekend but was forced to make “additional cancellations” on Sunday and Monday.
