Despite not having nearly the same numbers as Germany and
the United Kingdom, Portugal is in the Top 10 of the European countries with
the most cancelled flights, according to a report from Mabrian.
Regarding flights booked from June 14 to July 5, to fly
between July 1 and 15, with origin and destination within the European space, Germany
tops the list with close to 1,500 cancelled flights, corresponding to 6.12% of
total scheduled flights.
In second place in this ranking is the United Kingdom, with
1,060 cancelled flights, which is equivalent to 3.20% of all flights scheduled
for the period under analysis.
Portugal appears in ninth place, according to Mabrian with 116
cancelled flights, which means a cancellation rate of 1.25%.
Carlos Cendra, Director of Sales & Marketing at Mabrian,
states that “although the absolute numbers are high, in general, the
percentages of all scheduled flights do not reveal a very worrying impact”.
Carlos Cendra also concludes that, in general in Europe,
"companies are finding alternatives for passengers", estimating that
"the number of people forced to cancel their plans should be relatively
low".
So passengers are acting out on European airports alleging false flight cancelations.
