The flights affected were to Geneva and Amsterdam. An EasyJet spokesperson told the Liverpool ECHO : "Only two flights from Liverpool to Geneva and Amsterdam and their return flight back to Liverpool were pre-emptive cancelled today as a result of higher than usual levels of employee covid sickness."
They issued a further statement, which said: "EasyJet will operate the vast majority of its 1525 flights today with a small proportion cancelled in advance to give customers the ability to rebook onto alternative flights. We are sorry for any inconvenience for affected customers."
