The government is considering changing the rules when flights are cancelled so that airlines can issue vouchers instead of refunds.
Coronavirus response: Air passengers could lose refund right under Government plans
Shane Ross seeks measures to help alleviate pressure on airlines and travel companieswww.irishtimes.com
Long standing rules governing the rights of air passengers look set to be shelved at least temporarily as Minister for Transport Shane Ross considers giving the green light to plans which would allow airlines issue vouchers instead of refunds if flights are cancelled.
The Department of Transport is assessing proposals to help travel agents and tour operators during “these exceptional times”, a spokesman said.
Mr Ross has asked for a set of measures which he hopes will alleviate the financial pressures on companies, to protect jobs and businesses. Among those measures is the use of vouchers or credit notes for customer refunds
Is this for a flight that has actually been cancelled?But no refund. What do people think of that ?
It's not cancelled. Yet.They did not actually say it is cancelled
What makes them any different from any other airline, other than their success and strong financial position?Ryanair has enough zealots of its own to try and screw honest people out of hard earned money already and championed by their money grabbing boss. I don't believe in giving them a cent of public money. If Ryanair lived by the sword, it should die by the sword.
I don't believe Ryanair have asked for any financial assistance? They're sitting on enough cash to ground their entire fleet for a long period. Ryanair are actually on the other side of this one, and want to make sure that any state aid to other airlines doesn't distort competition.If Ryanair lived by the sword, it should die by the sword.
