The flight tracker on EZY’s website says:
Belfast - initially “We're sorry for the delay to your flight. This is because we had to make some changes to our flying program 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 is cancelled. 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.

I did say yesterday that I thought I would possibly drop an email to Ali Gayward at easyJet.
A prompt response has now been received and I'm happy to reproduce it in full. Hopefully the Manchester handling agent will get the message.
"You are probably aware that there have been huge levels of disruption across Europe once again this summer, leading to widespread delays and cancellations. This disruption has been caused by weather, and more significantly industrial action, especially in France. So far this year, French ATC strikes have increased by 300 per cent versus 2017. Last month, the French Senate confirmed that France alone is responsible for 33 per cent of flight delays in Europe.
The resulting delays across all of our network end up with crews out of base, working into their days off, and we use up all of our available standby crew and aircraft.
However, that said, we recognise that we rely on our ground handling agents and our app, to ensure customers are kept up to date about the status of their flights. The app should always contain the most up to date information, whilst informing crew at the gates, for example, can be a more manual process. At times of such widespread disruption, the cause of an individual flight’s disruption, when many other services are also impacted, can become unclear, especially given often a situation which is changing rapidly as spare crew or aircraft are being sought.
However, I will pass on your comments to our base team in Manchester and request that all is done in future to ensure that the most accurate information available is shared.
Kind regards,
Ali

What might these "issues" be? The latest NEO (G-UZHI) appears to have been "stuck" in Corfu on the 18th and 19th. Now it appears to be grounded in Lille - another aircraft having been sent in to take over.

I think that one had an unresponsive rudder, not good in only being weeks old!

G-UZHI
The saga continues. Although it returned to service, the aircraft is u/s again, having turned back over Biscay this morning while flying LGW-FUE. Still rudder control problems or something else??
