""Due to the power failure at London Gatwick easyJet was forced to cancel 83 flights to and from the airport on 24 December 2013. We apologise to all passengers affected and understand how frustrating and disappointing this was particularly at Christmas.
""We did our best to keep passengers updated throughout with thousands of live blogs on easyJet's flight tracker, text messages and announcements at the airport.
""easyJet did everything possible to help passengers travel home for Christmas, including operating flights on Christmas Day from the UK for the first time. Staff volunteered to work to help over 2000 customers reach their destinations safely.
""Those affected by the disruption can transfer their flights free of charge at www.easyJet.com or receive a full refund.
""The power has been restored at Gatwick and easyJet operated a full flying schedule from both terminals on of 26 December as planned.""
easyJet is aware of the imminent strong winds, heavy rainfall and inclement weather conditions that are forecast to affect the UK overnight into tomorrow.
The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew is our highest priority and we will continue to monitor and evaluate the forecasts and do all we can to ensure our passengers reach their destinations safely.
We will do everything to keep our passengers informed and strongly advise that passengers leave sufficient time for their journeys and check the status of their flights prior to leaving for the airport via easyJet.com or easyjet.com/en/flight-tracker where regular, real-time flight updates will be available.
