More than 15,000 holidaymakers have been stranded as easyJet was forced to cancel a raft of flights over the past couple of days due to poor weather. 

Thousands stranded as easyJet cancels 109 Gatwick flights after thunderstorms

The low-cost carrier cancelled 54 flights on Sunday (11 June) with another 55 to be axed on Monday as thunderstorms across the south of England caused "disruption at London Gatwick airport, including including some diversions and cancellations which is having a knock-on impact this morning as a number of aircraft are out of position."

“Due to unsettled weather conditions and thunderstorms across the south of England and Europe yesterday, temporary air traffic restrictions were put in place, which resulted in some flights being delayed and cancelled,” added an airport spokesperson.
