LONDON: London was hit on Monday by a subway strike on top of train and flight delays and cancellations that caused travel chaos in Britain following four-day Platinum Jubilee weekend.
"Unfortunately, due to the ongoing challenging operating environment around 37 flights have been cancelled today ahead of customers arriving at the airport," EasyJet said in a statement. Deputy prime minister Dominic Raab accused airlines last week of a"lack of preparation" in the run-up to the holiday surge following the removal of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
