"We are very sorry for the late notice of some of these cancellations and inconvenience caused for customers booked on these flights, however we believe this is necessary to provide reliable services over this busy period."Customers are being informed from today and provided with the option to rebook their flight or receive a refund and can apply for compensation in line with regulations.

"Over the next week we will be operating around 1700 flights per day, with around a quarter of these operating to and from Gatwick." Holidaymakers complained of a "shambolic" service on Friday night, with a shortage of staff on check-in desks and two-hour long queues.Read more:
