Love Island bosses are reportedly ready to ‘adapt’ at a moment’s notice, if the recent travel chaos interface with their planned flights to and from Majorca.
Host Laura Whitmore flies back and forth from the Balearic Island multiple times throughout the series in order to present from the main villa as well as spin-off show Aftersun in London.
And new Islanders are set to arrive throughout the show’s run, as contestants are dumped from the Island.
High alert: Love Island bosses are reportedly ready to ‘adapt’ at a moment’s notice, if the recent travel chaos interface with their planned flights to and from Majorca
But shocking scenes from around the country in recent weeks have shown holidaymakers stuck in huge queues with some forced to sleep on the floor of airports amid long delays.
Despite this, The Sun has claimed that ITV bosses are ready to deal with the issue.
A source told the publication: ‘It’s less than ideal but the team is ready to adapt if they need to.’
Earlier this week, executive producer Mike Spencer called the series ‘such a reactive show’ that can adapt quickly.

MailOnline have contacted reps for Love Island for comment.
Last year was also fraught with difficulties, as Covid-19 restrictions made traveling difficult.
Laura branded traveling to Majorca in 2021 a ‘logistical nightmare’, saying: ‘I have to be in London every Sunday as part of my Love Island contract. I need to host Love Island: Aftersun, which I love. It’s just so much fun, I love live telly.
‘But that’s another logistical nightmare, that we need to make sure that I’m always back in time for that. If I could, I’d probably just move into the villa, I mean who wouldn’t? ‘
It comes as Brits are facing a summer of airport chaos amid chronic staffing shortages and IT glitches.
Industry chiefs have pointed the finger at mass layoffs during the pandemic which saw staff let go because of the collapse in demand for travel during the various lockdowns.

Airlines are now struggling to rehire workers previously let go, leading to a shortage of security staff, ground handlers and check-in staff.
Industry sources say staffing levels are around 80 to 90 per cent of where they need to be for the peak summer season at larger airports and about 70 per cent at smaller ones.
Some workers have also decided to quit the industry and not return following the pandemic, it has been suggested.

Another issue has been the vetting of new staff, with background checks taking several weeks.
Unions and aviation chiefs say the security check backlog could be approaching 20,000 applications.
Meanwhile, the UK is facing a labor shortage, with more vacancies than workers available to fill them.
This has led to suggestions that potential airport staff recruits are unwilling to accept lower wages and more demanding roles.
