EasyJet chief operating officer quits amid growing anger over flight chaos

EasyJet’s chief operating officer Peter Bellew has resigned amid growing anger over flight disruption. The airline said Bellew had left "to pursue other business opportunities" and wished him well.
It comes after the airline has become one of the worst hit for cancellations in recent months. Thousands of flights were axed, including many on the day they were due to depart.

The airline continues to operate up to 1,700 flights each day and carry up to 250,000 passengers.”
The aviation sector is struggling to cope with the rising demand for travel amid staff shortages and difficulties obtaining security clearance for new recruits. Trade union Unite last month claimed there was a “lack of leadership” within easyJet, and Mr Bellew should be “taking control of this situation”.
EasyJet announced last month it would scrap thousands of summer flights in a bid to avoid last-minute cancellations. Among those were flights between Manchester Airport
