No fare hikes in sight as the airlines count the cost of ash
Friday 23rd April 2010, 11:30AM BST.
AIRLINES are not anticipating fares rising as a result of the disruption caused by ash from a volcano in Iceland.
Aurigny lost an estimated £40,000 to £50,000 a day, but commercial director Malcolm Coupar said it would not be putting fares up.
However, he said it was extremely unfortunate the shutdown had come after local airlines had faced disruptions such as the airport firefighters’ industrial action and the closure of the airport in January because of the weather.
Mr Coupar said it was difficult this early to calculate accurately the impact on its trading position.
Blue Islands and Flybe also said fares would remain the same.
