The airline cancels more flights in July, affecting tens of thousands of passengers.
The carrier said it was in touch with customers to "apologise and offer to rebook them or issue a full refund"., for an amnesty to give airlines a short window to hand back airport slots in the summer season they are not confident they will be able to operate.Airport slots provide airlines with the authorisation to take off or land at a specified time on a specified day.
Many jobs in the aviation industry were lost during the course of the Covid pandemic and recruiting enough staff in time to deal with the surge in demand for travel has proven difficult for airlines and airports. Gatwick has already said it would be reducing the number of flights during summer because of staff shortages before the airport slots amnesty was announced.Thousands of passengers were affected by last-minute flight cancellations over the Easter and half-term holidays.
That earlier disruption prompted the government and the aviation regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority, to write to airlines telling them to ensure their summer timetables were "deliverable... based on the resources you and your contractors expect to have available".
