Airline costs from air traffic control failure could reach £100m - former BA boss
The airline industry will bear costs of as much as £100m because of the UK air traffic control collapse on Monday, according to the former chief executive of British Airways’ owner who now leads the industry’s lobby group.
Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association (Iata), said that 1,100 flights were cancelled and hundreds of thousands of passengers had their journeys affected.
He told BBC Radio’s Today programme:
We’re looking at costs in the tens of millions, probably at this stage – too early to estimate fully – but I would imagine at an industry level we’ll be getting close to £100m of additional costs that airlines have encountered as a result of this failure.
Los costes derivados del fallo de los sistemas de control de tránsito aéreo en Reino Unido van a ser muy elevados para las aerolíneas. Al Reino Unido le ha sentado mal el Brexit.
