December snow cost Flybe £6m
14.05.11
Last December's snow caused disruption to more than 100,000 of Flybe's passengers and cost the airline £6 million. In its submission to the Transport Select Committee's inquiry in to the snow chaos, the regional budget airline said the airport closures led it to cancel 1980 of its 12,000 scheduled flights during the period, compared to just 273 cancellations the previous December.
In its submission Flybe said: ‘We would like to see closer working between airports and their customers, airlines and handling agents in pre-planning for weather disruption. There should also be an industry agreement of what 'open' means for an airport to manage passengers' expectations for travel.'
