 Easyjet PLC has apologised to passengers after telling them their August flight from Jersey to London Gatwick was delayed due to snow being cleared from the runway. Passengers attempted to claim compensation following a more than three-hour delay on 15 August but were told it was due to exceptional circumstances outside of easyJets control, Declining their claim the airline said: To further explain what happened on the day, Jersey had to close its runway for snow clearance, resulting in flights holding overhead for extended periods or having to divert to alternative airports.
