For those due to depart on Wednesday, although the holiday giant hasn't cancelled flights, it is giving people the option to rebook to a later date for free, or cancel and receive a full refund. Meanwhile, Jet2 this morning announced it would be operating more repatriation flights, on top of the 50 plus scheduled flights that were operating between Rhodes and the UK up until Sunday. This weekend also saw easyJet operating repatriation flights, as huge fires continue to blaze on the popular holiday island.
