Tui has apologised after announcing plans to axe multiple flights a day from Manchester until the end of June as airlines face mounting consumer and government pressure over airport delays and service cancellations.

Up to six Tui flights per day have reportedly been cut at the airport – said to impact up to 37,000 passengers over the coming month – due to “operational challenges”.

“We can reassure our customers that the remainder of our flying programme is expected to operate as planned,” a Tui spokesperson said, adding how affected customers would be contacted in departure date order and automatically receive a full refund.

“We’d like to apologise again for the inconvenience caused and we thank customers for their understanding and patience during this time,” Tui said.
