The ONLY reason why easyJet cancels flights is because they cannot be operated without putting more disruption into an already delayed schedule, which would result in an impossible situation for the next day.
To cancel a flight is an absolute last resort, but the programme for the following day has to be protected (something we learned the hard way during this last winter) or else even worse disruption for the pax & crew will occur.
For anyone to suggest that our airline would attempt to take commercial advantage of the current appalling situation is an abhorrent insult.
Our thoughts are with the victims and loved ones of this tragic event.
