EasyJet: June flight cancellations sharply increase on ATC strikes
EasyJet said over 1,000 more flights were canceled in June than in the same month in 2017, mainly because of French and Italian air traffic control strikes. The airline said there were 1,263 cancellations in June 2018, equivalent to around 2.7% of planned capacity and up on the 213 experienced in June 2017. Around 900 were because of French and Italian industrial action, with a further 150 attributed to adverse weather conditions and ATC restrictions. Ryanair said July 4 that ATC strikes and staff shortages caused over 1,100 flight cancellations in June compared to just 41 cancellations in same month last year. EasyJet said it operated around 51,000 flights in June 2018—an average of 1,700 flights a day—and carried more than a quarter of a million passengers per day totalling 7.9m in the month across its European network. <br/>
