The crew on your flight have reached their maximum legal working hours as a result of a technical issue on an earlier flight that could unfortunately not be resolved.”

Berlin - “We're sorry for the delay to your flight. Your plane was delayed on an earlier flight it operated due to arrival restrictions because of congestion. This means it was held in a queue before landing. As a result it will be late to arrive for your flight. We’re working to minimise this delay where possible.” Then later “We’re very sorry that your flight is cancelled. The crew on your flight have reached their maximum legal working hours as a result of air traffic control restrictions on earlier flights. There are strict industry wide rules on the number of hours our crew is allowed to work.”

Vienna - “We're sorry for the delay to your flight. This is because we had to make some changes to our flying program and changed your plane on an earlier flight. This meant that the flight was delayed and will be late to arrive. We're working to minimise the delay where possible.” Then “We’re very sorry that your flight has now been delayed overnight. This is due to a crew welfare issue. As we do not have replacement crew this evening, we have had to delay your flight overnight.”

Oddly yesterday they also had a return to Olbia that operated with an EZY99xx flight number with a Gatwick based aircraft that positioned in/out to do it.

Lots of issues with the new NEOs at the moment which has had a knock on effect to a few flights
