clickair launches EUR50 rescue rate for stranded XL and Futura passengers
clickair announced a EUR50 flat fee, per sector fare to help XL and Futura passengers stranded in Spain primarily in the Balearic and Canary Islands get home.

 

The offer, announced follows  the cancellation of flights by the British tour operator and Spanish charter airline and also applies to European originating passengers looking to get back to Spain from the UK.

The special rate will be available until 19-Sep-08. In order to complete the reservation, passengers must produce evidence that they possess a valid, albeit now cancelled, ticket either on an XL or Futura flight.


clickair CEO Alex Cruz said, “Our goal is to help provide a quick return for the stranded passengers because we know the stress they’re going through.  We don’t expect to profit from this initiative as we’ll just about cover our costs,” he added. “We hope the embattled carriers will overcome their problems. Anything that further erodes consumer confidence in our industry, and in Spain as a prime destination, is bad for all of us. That’s our main concern.”
