Tens of thousands more airline passengers suffered flight cancellations on Tuesday.

EasyJet will run five rescue flights to bring home Brits stranded abroad after the air traffic control fault on Monday.

A spokesperson said: ‘We are also operating larger aircraft on key routes including Faro, Ibiza, Dalaman and Tenerife to provide some additional 700 seats this week. Transport Secretary Mark Harper said it was the worst incident of its kind in ‘nearly a decade’ and announced an ‘independent review’ will be carried out.

This resulted in flights to and from UK airports being restricted while the plans were checked manually.
