Are you worried about your summer plans?
Around 30 flights carrying up to 5,000 passengers have been cancelled at Heathrow Airport due to technical issues affecting baggage.
Tens of thousands of passengers have been hit by airport disruption and flight cancellations in recent weeks. British Airways, which operates from terminals three and five, told the BBC it had made a "small number of cancellations" as a result of the airport's request.Hundreds of flights across the UK were cancelled during the week of the Platinum Jubilee and half-term holidays, and concerns have been raised of further travel woes during the summer.
EasyJet's chief executive, Johan Lundgren, said the airline would usually operate about 160,000 flights during the summer months. "Coupled with airport caps, we are taking pre-emptive actions to increase resilience over the balance of summer, including a range of further flight consolidations in the affected airports, giving advance notice to customers and we expect the vast majority to be rebooked on alternative flights within 24 hours," Mr Lundgren added.If your flight is cancelled, you have the right to either a full refund, or a replacement flight.
"It's been slow to get people in the system, not so much the fact we have been struggling to recruit," he said.
