Decidedly, it is complicated to travel with Volotea at the moment. On April 17, a flight crew strike led the company to cancel flights to the Canary Islands. On April 30, passengers on the Palma de Mallorca Toulouse flight are waiting this time to return from vacation. They are currently uncertain about their time to arrive in the Pink City. The company has not yet communicated the reasons for the cancellation.
Arrived around 4 p.m. at Palma de Mallorca airport, the 150 passengers who were to take the 6:30 p.m. flight this Saturday evening are not about to arrive in Toulouse. The Volotéa company canceled their flight “without reason”, protests Nicolas, stuck in a waiting room with his 4-year-old granddaughter. In their misfortune, both were lucky enough to be offered two seats in the Palma de Mallorca Barcelona at 11 p.m. tonight, on a Vueling flight. “Afterwards, we are told about a bus. Around 4 or 5 in the morning? We don’t know. We have no guarantee of the arrival time in Toulouse.”
Half of the passengers were offered a place on a Vualing flight, this Saturday at 11 p.m…. but for Barcelona.
And what about Frédéric, who is patient with his wife, his two children aged 8 and 11. All four are from Saint-Junien, in Haute-Vienne. “For the moment, we have not been offered anything, protests the father of the family. Just an SMS which directs us to the general conditions to remind us of what is normally offered. No information. We are with our friends from Corrèze who have also two children, 10 and 12. We don’t know what time we will be able to arrive home.”
This incident is not the first for Volotea. Less than two weeks ago, several travelers who had booked a plane ticket with the airline Volotea had seen their flights canceled at the last moment due to a strike notice filed by the flight crew. Some passengers had to spend the night of April 17 at the hotel instead of enjoying the start of their Easter vacation.
At 7 p.m. this Saturday, Frédéric and his Corréziens friends still did not have their boarding pass for the 11 p.m. flight to Barcelona, nor confirmation of the bus schedule. “Fortunately, we have grouped together all the children on the flight who play together in the terminal,” he confides, somewhat comforted by the smiles of the little ones, but still angry with the Volotéa company. For him, “it’s intolerable to leave passengers in these situations”.
We have no details on the reasons for the delay of this Palma Toulouse flight on April 30. More info to follow.
