Easyjet To Pre Cancel Flights

Easyjet has announced that its customers face pre-planned cancellations during the summer holidays. As part of cost cutting measures carried out by outgoing chief executive Andy Harrison. The airline is massively understaffed and unable to honour the 1,200 flights a day, it has to carry out for its busy schedule.

They plan to borrow planes from rival airlines to help accommodate its workload, whilst some passengers who have already booked, will have had their flights cancelled already, they just don’t know it yet. New chief Carolyn McCall said the passengers affected would be contacted and that it would be better than arriving at the airport to find their flights cancelled.

Reports suggest that Easyjet doesn’t have enough pilots to carry out its hectic schedule that was introduced by Harrison. Safety laws also prevent staff from being in the air too long, which further enhances the staffing problems.

Only half of Easyjet planes left Gatwick airport on time July a record which has recently been mocked by rival airline owner Michael O’Leary.

Mrs McCall commented “We have made some decisions which may have been penny wise and pound foolish - saving a little money to spend a great deal more.”

Easyjet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou has warned he may ban Easyjet from using his name as it is damaging the reputation if his Easy-group empire
