DALLAS – Due to a technical issue, hundreds of EasyJet (U2) flights in the UK have been delayed or canceled at Belfast International Airport (BFS).

Passengers who wanted to fly with the airline were stranded when a problem with the airline’s systems prohibited flights from taking off.

Only two flights from London Gatwick Airport (LGW) were allowed to take off today, May 26: one to Mallorca, Spain, and the other to Thessaloniki, Greece. The latest flight information shows arrivals and departures have been canceled from Corfu, Amsterdam, Bristol, LGW, Liverpool, and Manchester.

Apart from those, all other flights scheduled to depart between 1 and 3 p.m. were either rescheduled or canceled.

Passengers should check the U2 flight tracker before heading to the airport, according to a statement from (BFS). The new delays come after an eventful week for U2 passengers, which saw many last-minute cancellations.
