British Airways has removed the largest number of departures – almost 380 – from schedules as it struggles with staffing issues at Heathrow and within its own ranks.
BA was followed by Flybe, which has taken out more than 130 flights since 1 July, and by easyJet, which has removed around 90 services.
Cirium also examined departures during the period of 23-27 August and found a 21% drop in capacity compared to 2019.
