The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that a budget European airline has scrapped plans to expand its flights between Canada and the United Kingdom this summer. The Globe's Greg Keenan writes that Primera Air has suspended scheduled flights between Midland city Birmingham and Toronto because Airbus SE has not delivered A321neo planes that the Swedish-based company was expecting to be delivered in time for the service. The flights between Birmingham and Toronto were scheduled to begin June 21. The move follows that of low-cost carrier Norwegian Air SAS, which has also put off its plans to begin service to Canada. About 5,000 people are affected by the cancellation of the Primera flights. They have been offered a refund or the option of flying out of London's Stansted airport because Primera's existing A321 fleet is operating between that airport and Toronto as well as Paris-Toronto. "We did not anticipate such severe Airbus delays and the prolonged hold-up has forced us to make this difficult and disappointing decision," Andri Mar Ingolfsson, chief executive officer of Primera Air, said in a statement. The airplane maker was scheduled to deliver six Airbus A321s to Primera this year.
