Brits face summer holiday hell as hundreds of flights could be cancelled after Boeing safety crisis...

Are YOU facing holiday chaos? Email dan.grennan@mailonline.co.ukBritish holidaymakers are braced for a wave of cancellations this summer after a safety crisis at Boeing has led to aircraft shortages.

A Boeing passenger plane came off the runway during takeoff from Dakar International Airport, injuring 11 people and shutting the hub for hours on May 9 'Airlines are desperate for aircraft because of the production problems but the well is dry,' Gediminas Ziemelis, chairman of Dublin-based Avia, told The Telegraph. 'I think in this dislocated system that cancellations are quite possible.'Mr Ziemelis argued that the aircraft industry is facing a post-pandemic 'super-demand' that has not been experienced since 'traffic rebounded after 9/11'.

Boeing has come under renewed scrutiny since a door plug blew out of a 737 Max on an Alaska Airlines flight in January, leaving a gaping hole in the side of the jetliner Regardless, Mr Ziemelis predicts that the supply chain issues at Airbus and Boeing will sustain a 'bubble' in demand until 2026.On January 5, Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 - a Boeing 737 Max 9 - lost a door plug at 16,000 feet on a flight from Portland, Oregon, to Ontario, California.

Alaska Airlines and United Airlines also went on to find loose parts on their grounded jets' door plugs. 'It is also very, very stupid and speaks volumes about the quality culture at certain portions of the business.'A National Transportation Safety Board report said that the January 5 incident was down to four crucial bolds being missing from the panel which blew out.Boeing's 737 Max program chief, Ed Clark, was reportedly fired in a structural shakeup at the company.

A Boeing 737 Max operated by United Airlines veered off the tarmac into the grass when exiting the runway at George Bush Airport in Houston early FridayAn audit by the FAA of both Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems 'found multiple instances where the companies allegedly failed to comply with manufacturing quality control requirements'.The head of the NTSB accused Boeing of 'not cooperating' with its investigation into the January incident.
