(ZEROHEDGE) â It will be a messy time for flying around Europe as British Airways announced it would cut another 10,300 short-haul flights through the end of the summer. The latest round of cuts means the airline has slashed 27,900 flights due to post-pandemic staff shortages.
The Independent broke the story on Wednesday afternoon and added to the 17,600 cancellations the flagship airline carrier of the UK made at the end of June. “British Airways has now taken 4.5 million seats out of the market. The latest round was announced ahead of a Friday deadline for airlines to cancel flights this season without losing slots next summer,” the British online newspaper noted.
Most of the flight cancellations will be centered around Heathrow Airport, a major international airport in London, England. But also expect cancellations at Gatwick and London City airport.
