A “small number” of flights are still affected, according to the company.
Bad surprise at the airports. The Easyjet company was forced to cancel around 200 flights on Thursday, including around twenty from France, due to computer problems. “We apologize to customers whose flights have been disrupted by our IT system issues, you can check your flight status here“, tweeted the low-cost British company Thursday at the end of the day.
If the problem “was resolved in a few hours“, indicates Easyjet to the Figaro, a few more flights were canceled this Friday morning. “Today [vendredi]we plan to operate around 1700 flights, but unfortunately a small number of them have been affected this morning“, we are told, adding on the other hand that “no cancellation (has been) recorded for France this Friday morning».

The company then said that the disruptions could last despite the resolution of the technical problem, due to a domino effect. In total, some 200 flights – out of nearly 1,500 operated – were canceled on Thursday.
These cancellations concerned several European airports, including in France. Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Lyon, Toulouse and Nice airports were affected, for flights departing from or arriving in the United Kingdom, Morocco, Portugal, Italy and Spain. .
