Flights canceled by EasyJet
In the meantime, it was also announced that airline EasyJet will have to cancel a hundred flights on Monday because too many people are absent due to the corona virus. That reports the British public broadcaster BBC. More than 200 flights have been canceled since Friday. EasyJet also flies to Zaventem airport, but no flights have been affected for the time being.
“Due to the high number of corona infections currently in Europe, as with any company, there are more people absent due to illness than usual at EasyJet,” said a spokesperson. The low-cost airline has called in extra people, but was still forced to cancel flights preventively. Affected customers have been contacted.
The 100 or so flights canceled on Monday, 62 of them from the United Kingdom, are only a small part of the total number of flights, according to EasyJet. In total, about 1,645 flights were planned today. Monday’s cancellations were announced Saturday. At least 222 flights have been canceled since Friday, according to the dpa news agency.
