EasyJet has laid on a number of rescue flights to bring home holidaymakers stranded across the Mediterranean following Monday’s air traffic control meltdown.
It will operate five flights to London Gatwick over the next three days.
They will operate from Palma and Faro today, from Tenerife and Enfidha in Tunisia on 31 August and from Rhodes on 1 September.
An easyJet spokesperson also told Travel Gossip that the airline will be operating larger aircraft on key routes, including Ibiza, Faro, Dalaman and Tenerife to provide an extra 700 seats this week.
Eurostar is putting on an additional return service to Paris today, after adding an extra two departures from London and one return from Paris yesterday.
The extra service today departs from London St Pancras at 9.15am and leaves Paris Gare du Nord at 1.43pm, but Eurostar is urging people to only go to the station if they have a ticket to travel.
Meanwhile, airlines continue to suffer delays and cancellations as they struggle to repatriate some of the 300,000 customers affected.
Jet2 confirmed this morning that it has delayed almost 50 flights until tomorrow due to the ongoing knock-on effect of Monday’s outage.
Below is the list of flights that have been postponed overnight until Thursday. Jet2 said customers due to travel will be contacted again at 8pm this evening and local teams in resorts will be making arrangements for them.
