The airline said it was experiencing Air Traffic Control slot delays and urged passengers to allow plenty of time to travel to the airport if their destination is experiencing bad weather

Jet2 has issued a warning to its passengers about potential 'delays' due to 'adverse weather conditions' affecting parts of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. The airline has cited Air Traffic Control slot delays as the cause and is advising passengers to allow extra time for their journey to the airport if they are travelling to an area experiencing poor weather.

This comes as the Balearic Islands are being hit by storms, with heavy rain also predicted for parts of mainland Europe including Austria, Czechia and Poland, according to accuweather.com.
