Manchester Airport is heading into one of its busiest travel periods of the year as summer season progresses. The northwest airport connects with more than 200 destinations globally, with thousands of passengers expected to jet off over the coming months.
Summer Travel Surge
Ahead of school holidays, the next few months are expected to be particularly popular with people without children or those with kids under school age, seeking cheaper holiday deals. These months also appeal to those wanting quieter resorts or a break without intense summer sun.
Spain, Greece, and Turkey are among the most popular European holiday destinations. City breaks are also popular for shorter trips.
Today's Cancellations
As of 10:30 am on Thursday, June 18, FlightRadar24.com reports two cancelled flights from Manchester Airport. No delays exceeding 30 minutes were recorded at the time of reporting.

New European Travel Rules
Passengers flying across Europe will soon be impacted by new rules announced by the European Parliament this week. A major agreement means travellers with Jet2, easyJet, Ryanair, TUI, and other airlines will have new rights and rules regarding compensation, child seating, and flight prices. This could significantly affect those using some budget airlines.
Travel Disruption Advice
As with any transport, disruptions, delays, and cancellations can occur due to bad weather, staffing issues, or strike action. Passengers are advised to monitor their flight status closely.
