Industrial action by German aviation workers has brought travel in and out of the country to a standstill

TTG understands easyJet was forced to cancel the majority of flights, while some Brussels Airlines and Tui services were also affected.

 

"Due to the impact of ATC restrictions across the network yesterday caused by adverse weather conditions across the UK and Europe which also resulted in the temporary suspension of operations at London Gatwick, some flights yesterday evening have been unable to operate as planned," said an easyJet spokesperson.
