Read our privacy policy Britain’s biggest budget airline has cancelled more than 40 flights to and from London Gatwick, its main base, on Thursday – including round-trips to Malta, Bodrum in Turkey and Paphos in Cyprus. Most passengers appear to have been notified at least a day ahead, though some short-notice cancellations have been made – including the morning round-trip from Gatwick to Edinburgh and a link to Paris CDG. “As a result of this action, only one runway will be in use instead of two and all airlines have been told to reduce their flight schedule at Paris CDG airport by 25 per cent during this time period.” Also from Gatwick, Wizz Air has grounded two round trips on Thursday to Madrid, while British Airways’ departures from the Sussex airport to Amsterdam, Malaga, Palma and Tenerife have all been axed. In addition, if a cancellation is made within two weeks of departure, cash compensation is generally payable – unless the airline can demonstrate “extraordinary circumstances” were responsible for grounding the flight.
