Fewer than half of passengers planning to travel this year believe the UK’s airports and airlines are ready for the summer getaway, a new CAA survey has revealed.

Just 45% of the 1,000 respondents to the CAA poll said they thought the industry was prepared for the summer, with 40% reporting having been affected by some form of disruption in the past year.


The most commonly reported forms of disruption were delays (31%) followed by cancellations (13%), strikes (9%) and damaged or lost luggage (7%). Nearly half (45%) said such disruption had not affected their travel plans for the summer.
