The recent snowy weather has wrecked travel across Britain, with roads closed off, trains cancelled and airports brought to a standstill. Many flights from a multitude of different airports have been affected, including Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Aberdeen airport even had to shut twice because the heavy snowfalls caused such problems.

Of all the major airlines, Easyjet seems to have been hit with the most disruptions, with flights from Luton and Gatwick in particular delayed or cancelled. The airline has responded to the cancellations and backlog of passengers by stating that it may be forced to run flights on Christmas Day in order to help it catch up with the vast number of cancellations, and cabin crew are on standby, but in reality the possibility of this happening is very slim. Whilst alternative arrangements are being made, there airline refuses to promise that it will be able to get every single passenger home in time for Christmas. All in all, Easyjet have been forced to cancel over 150 flights, with Luton passengers told that flights from the airline will not run again until January.

However, it wasn’t just Easyjet who suffered problems, with all the other major airlines affected by the seasonal weather. Airlines at airports across the country are continuing to clear a backlog of flights, with many working around the clock to rectify the situation.
