Jet2 shares update for travellers across the country as Britons could face disruptions
Jet2 has warned of disruptions getting to airports
PA
Jet2 has updated holidaymakers on things across the UK which could disrupt them getting to the airports.
It advised Britons to allow enough time to travel and updated those in the East Midlands of possible disruptions this week.
In a new update, the airline stated: "We'd just like to let you know that a Superbike Event will be taking place at Donington Park 27th - 29th September 2024. There will be traffic management in place across the weekend to ensure minimal disruption.
"Temporary traffic lights will be in place at Junction A453 and Melbourne Lane.
Customers should allow plenty of time to get to the airport
GETTY"Please allow enough time to travel to East Midlands Airport as all Jet2.com flights are still due to operate as scheduled."
While traffic management is in place, it could take longer to get to the airport so Britons should allow plenty of time so they do not miss their flights.
Ongoing road closures in the East Midlands area could also cause disruptions until the end of the year.
Jet2 stated: "We have been made aware of road works between Junction 23A and Junction 25 on the M1, one lane will be permanently closed on the Northbound and Southbound carriageways with a 50mph speed restriction in place.
"Delays are likely during peak hours. There will be sporadic closures of Junction 23A slip roads, between the hours of 22:00 and 06:00. There will be signed diversions."
Britons jetting off in the Newcastle area have also been given similar advice and should check their route before heading to the airport.
This is because roadworks are taking place around the area until the end of November. Jet2 flights are scheduled to depart on time.
The airline added: "We have been made aware of road works taking place on the A696 from 19th August until the 26th November.
"Diversion routes have been put in place. National Highways have confirmed that resurfacing work will be completed affecting the airport access roundabout.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
Ryanair said there could be delays today
GETTY"These works will take place from approximately 22:00 with the road reopening from 06:00 the following morning."
This comes as Ryanair shared an update for those heading to Italy, as delays and cancellations are likely today.
Ryanair said: “Due to a ground handling strike affecting Venice Marco Polo (VCE), Olbia (OLB), Milan Malpensa (MXP), and Bologna (BLQ) airports on Tues 24 Sept, we have been forced to cancel a small number of flights to/from these airports and make schedule changes to a small number of others.
“Passengers affected by these cancellations/schedule changes have been notified of their options via email."
