- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with representatives of EasyJet on flight cancellations caused by IT failures at that company.
- Answer
-
I am aware that as a result of an IT failure on 27 May easyJet enacted rehearsed contingency plans to managed unexpected events. This resulted in the cancellation and delay of some flights while the issue was resolved. Any IT failure is unfortunate but I have been reassured by easyJet that this was an isolated incident and was quickly resolved.
easyJet have were involved in the meeting I and the Secretary of State chaired on 1 June, they are also involved in the Strategic Risk Group which I chaired on Tuesday 14 June and will continue to chair weekly.
