São Nicolau: Bestfly cancels flights to the island again, causing passenger dissatisfaction. According to Inforpress, this is a situation that has become recurrent in recent times and which has been called by the Saonic population as the “ Thursday drama ”.
The cancellation of the flight caused indignation among passengers, who once again demonstrated their dissatisfaction with what they consider to be “ a lack of respect and consideration for the island of São Nicolau ”.
A passenger, who identified herself as Crizanta, who was traveling to the island of Sal, from where she was heading to Italy, was dissatisfied with the situation, taking into account that with the cancellation of the flight she would end up missing her flight to the Italy.
“ My daughter and I had a connecting flight today (12/10) to Italy and we are going to end up losing our tickets, in addition to having our work at risk and my daughter being affected at school”, he lamented .
According to Infrpress, several other passengers were also on the flight who were supposed to go to foreigners today, who say they were harmed and question “ who will bear the losses ”.
According to the passenger, this is the second time she has been harmed by this type of situation, which is why she asks for “ more respect from the company towards passengers ”.
In turn, Fernanda Soares, described the situation “ as a lack of respect ” and questioned the fact that cases of this type have become recurrent in recent months, without “ measures being adopted to avoid such situations ”.
Passengers also question why the company insists on flying in the late afternoon on Thursdays, knowing that São Nicolau airport has no lighting, which has caused problems almost every week.
According to passengers, according to information they received at the airport, the flight should take place this Friday, at 11:00 am.
It should be noted that flight cancellations to and from the island of São Nicolau have been recurring in recent months, especially on the Thursday flight which takes place in the afternoon, concludes this newspaper’s source.
