Budget airline easyJet is refusing to cancel flights to the Greek island of Rhodes, despite the raging wildfires continuing to spread throughout the island for the sixth consecutive day.
The airline stated it “is currently operating flights as normal to Rhodes” but said it was “monitoring the situation closely”.

This is in contrast with holiday company Jet2 cancelling five flights to Rhodes, while TUI cancelled all flights there until Wednesday.
