"This summer we will be operating our UK A319 fleet with a maximum of 150 passengers onboard and three crew in line with CAA regulations," it read. "This is an effective way of operating our fleet while building additional resilience and flexibility into our operation this summer where we expect to be back to near 2019 levels of flying."It comes after several European airlines, including easyJet, were forced to cancel thousands of flights in the lead-up to Easter, causing travel chaos for holidaymakers hoping to make the most of their breaks.It operated at 80 per cent of 2019 capacity in the first three months of this year.
