GB News halted for breaking alert – and it is dangerous information for Brits travelling overseas | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV | EUROtoday

This morning’s instalment of GB News was floor to a halt for a journey announcement about airways having the ability to cancel flights upfront. Hosting stay from the US, however addressing the breaking alert for the UK, presenter Ben Leo mentioned: “This is going to stitch up thousands of holiday makers, business people taking flights.” Correspondent Claire Muldoon defined because the breaking information banner flashed throughout the underside of the display: “Well, that was my take on it, absolutely. But the spin from the Government is that it will give people long-term certainty and avoid unnecessary disruption upon travelling at the departure gate this summer, says the Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander.”

Muldoon queried: “Well, I don’t quite get that.” Speaking to Leo, she added: “As you said only last week, the unions were saying, ‘We have got enough fuel, it’s absolutely fine.’ And now these headlines are saying that by June, Europe is facing almost a wipeout in fuel.

“So what they’ve tried to do is amalgamate sure airways which have maybe a myriad of routes going out to the identical vacation spot every day, and what they will do is amalgamate them.

“But if you do that, surely these seats have already been booked, and you can only do that if you have got the seats to do it.”

She argued towards that, saying that “some routes are clearly busy” and claimed quite a lot of airways wouldn’t need to hand over their route “because often they cost a lot of money”.

The Scottish broadcaster added: “They do not want to do that at all. It will cause an awful lot of disruption to a lot of hard working people that want to take a break from the global economy at the moment, the global geo-politial scene, and actually go and have a bit of fun.”

However, Alexander informed BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: “On the basis of the information that I’ve got today, I am confident that the majority of people that are travelling this summer will have a similar experience to last year. There may be a need for airlines to trim their schedules slightly.”
