Paris Trip Update 1: 20:25 UK time – 13/6/24

Notice for all parents/ carers of pupils on the Paris Trip for Stewarton Academy.

Unfortunately, Mr Smallwood has just been informed that the return flight this evening has been cancelled by Easy Jet.

The group have been asked to collect their bags (they had been waiting to board).

We have no further information at this time about alternative arrangements.

Please do not be alarmed by this information. You may be aware that the same problem happened to the Paris trip last year.
On that occasion, Easy Jet arranged for transport to a hotel for the night and then a replacement flight the next day.
We are currently assuming that similar arrangements will be put in place this time.

However, we will update you with details as soon as we have these.

Kind regards.
