ONCE again, Spain holds more blue flags for its beaches and marinas than any other country in the world – a record it has held without interruption for 30 years.
Ryanair cancels 2,000 flights to 'improve punctuality'
17/09/2017
LOW-COST airline Ryanair has cancelled 2,000 flights between now and the end of October to 'improve its punctuality', which had become affected by air-traffic control and airport worker strikes, as well as adverse weather conditions.
Ryanair says fewer than 80% of its planes were taking off and arriving on time, which the company considers 'unacceptable'.
Until recently, over 90% of Ryanair flights arrived on time, and the company has worked out that it would be able to improve its record by calling off 2% of trips for the next six weeks.
As a result, around 40 to 50 flights a day to and from various different destinations have been axed between now and the end of next month.
All affected customers will receive an email, sent to the address used for the original booking, to tell them their flight will not go ahead, and they will be offered a refund or a place on an alternative flight.
Anyone who does not receive an email will not have to worry and should turn up at the airport as planned.
“Your flight is operating as scheduled unless you have received a cancellation email. Please check the email address used to make your booking,” says a message posted by Ryanair on its Twitter account, @Ryanair.
