Ryanair was forced to cancel 84 of its flights and Monarch airlines Managing Director Tim Jeans has called for a reassessment of the UK's transport capabilities. Britain was hit by more blizzards that shut its biggest airports on the busiest weekend for travellers before Christmas and hit road and rail traffic. Gatwick airport said it was providing beds and cots, distributing thousands of blankets, hundreds of bottles of water and food and making showers and washing facilities available free of charge.

Uno sciopero dei controllori del traffico aereo si terrà oggi sabato 6 settembre, in Italia, dalle 12.30 alle 16.30. A causa dello sciopero indetto, molte compagnie aeree sono state costrette a cancellare alcuni voli: la compagnia low cost Ryanair ha detto di aver cancellato 96 voli (qui la lista), easyJet circa 60. Alitalia ha detto in un comunicato di avere attuato in precedenza «una riduzione dei voli previsti nella fascia oraria interessata dallo sciopero». La lista dei voli garantiti si trova qui.

Secondo Simon Calder dell’Independent, contattato da BBC, i controllori scioperano per protestare contro il progetto di creare un unico spazio aereo europeo, che a loro dire diminuirebbe i posti di lavoro e danneggerebbe la sicurezza dei voli.
