EasyJet to cut more flights over summer holidays

Airline says it is reducing services after London Gatwick and Amsterdam announced caps on flights

EasyJet is cutting thousands of flights over the summer, after government orders designed to avoid further travel disruption at airports.

The Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority told airlines last week to review their schedules and ensure flights were deliverable, after post-lockdown staff shortages left airlines and airports unable to keep up with an increase in travel as Covid restrictions lifted.
