EASYJET is cancelling flights from a major UK airport to a holiday hotspot popular with Brits.<\/p>\n
The airline confirmed that it will stop running flights from Gatwick to Volos in Greece next summer.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The airport is on the Pelion peninsula, halfway up mainland Greece's Aegean coast between Athens and Thessaloniki.<\/p>\n
Many Brits fly to the airport to get to Skiathos and Skopelos, the two gorgeous islands used to as filming locations for Mamma Mia.<\/p>\n
EasyJet will not be cancelling any scheduled flights – but will stop running the service from next summer.<\/p>\n
The airline will carry on flying to Athens, Thessaloniki and Skiathos itself.<\/p>\n

A spokesman said: "Following a review of the route, we can confirm that flights between London Gatwick and Volos in Greece won\u2019t be going on sale beyond this summer.<\/p>\n
"We concentrate our efforts on maintaining and developing routes which prove most popular with customers, focusing on offering routes with the greatest demand.<\/p>\n
"We continue to offer customers in in the UK 13 Greek destinations and provide more seats from the UK than any other airline to this popular Mediterranean region."<\/p>\n
The Pelion region around Volos was devastated by flash floods earlier this month – killing 20 people and washing away whole towns.<\/p>\n
