Flight situation is getting better
Amid strikes, flight delays and mass cancellations, one in three Brits say they have experienced disruption to their travel plans this summer.
The Office of National Statistics (ONS) polled 2,000 adults in the UK and found that 34 per cent who had travelled abroad in the previous eight weeks had experienced some kind of disruption.
It’s no surprise that nine out of 10 of these people travelled by air.
Strikes over working conditions have made the situation even more complicated. Just today, Scandinavian Airlines cancelled 1,700 flights during September and October as it struggles to recover from industrial action in July.
But Heathrow Airport recently said that it believes that some of this airport chaos is now lifting in the UK due to the daily cap of 100,000 passengers introduced last month.
Airlines were asked by airports to stop selling more tickets for flights this summer and the temporary cap was introduced, lasting until 29 October.
