EasyJet is cancelling more than 200 flights over the next 10 days – as transport disruption hampers the outset of the half term break.

The airline said the cancellations would affect about 24 flights per day from London’s Gatwick airport between May 28 and June 6.

It added the cancellations were “necessary to provide reliable services over this busy period.” It comes after a software failure forced the airline to cancel around 200 flights on Thursday.
