DUE to the ongoing closure of air space in large parts of Europe, easyJet flights to and from northern Europe, including the UK, will be cancelled until 5pm GMT today (Tuesday April 20).

The airline had hoped to resume some services earlier; however, based on the latest meteorological forecasts and continuing emission of volcanic ash into the atmosphere this is not possible.

A limited number of flights will continue to operate in southern Europe, and passengers who are booked to travel with easyJet are advised to visit easyJet.com before travelling to the airport.

Passengers who are booked to travel on a cancelled flight should not travel to the airport but should instead arrange either a full refund or a free transfer to another flight on the same route within 30 days of the original flight date through easyJet.com
