The government should convene its emergency committee to solve the half-term chaos at Britain’s airports, the Liberal Democrats have said.

As of November, flights from the UK to the US have recovered to 92% of 2019 levels

Brits are continuing to prioritise spend on travel

The party’s transport spokesperson, MP Sarah Olney, called for a meeting of the Cobra ministerial committee following a weekend of long queues, delays and cancellations at several UK airports.

She said: “Ministers need to get a grip. Britain’s airports are a complete and utter shambles. It’s clear that both the airlines and government have failed.”
