easyJet holidays announced on Friday that they are to cancel holidays until late March as a result of the ban on international travel and tightening of lockdowns around the world.
The travel firm confirmed it is cancelling holidays booked up to and including March 24, and that it is in the process of contacting affected passengers to offer them a range of options which include future holiday credit or a refund.
Previously, the company had said it would be cancelling holidays up until the end of February. However this has now been extended to cover holidays booked up to and including 24th March which will now all be cancelled too.
Matt Callaghan, easyJet holidays customer director, said: “We know this news will be disappointing. But we want to give our customers as much flexibility and choice as possible so they can decide what is best for them. We’re really proud that, where we’ve needed to cancel holidays, we’ve been able to process refunds in an average of 12 days."
He added "We’ll continue to do the right thing for customers. And for any customers wanting to change their holiday or make a new booking, we’ve got holidays on sale all the way through to March 2022. We know there is light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine. We can’t wait to take people on well-deserved holidays just as soon as it’s possible for us to do so."
