The Government of the Canary Islands collaborates in restoring normality after the cessation of Spanair's activity

From the early hours of Friday afternoon, the General Directorate of Transport of the Government of

Canary Islands has been in contact with Civil Aviation and Aena to monitor the

impact of the cessation of Spanair's activity.

Eleven flights of the company were scheduled for this Saturday, one of which was to depart

from Tenerife South, three from Tenerife North, two from Lanzarote and five from Gran

Canaria, one of which is a charter, which was to depart for Norway.

Apart from the refund claims for tickets that those affected may make to Spanair

agreements with other airlines will allow them to fly with Air Europa, Vueling

and Iberia at a price of 45 euros. In addition, Aena Canarias has activated a device in

all airports with Spanair's ground staff to assist passengers and

relocate them.

The Government of the Canary Islands remains in contact with both Aena

Canarias, as well as Civil Aviation, to permanently monitor the impact

of this cessation of Spanair's activity at Canary airports.

According to the company itself, passengers who paid for their tickets with a credit

credit card can inquire at their financial institution about the possibilities of reimbursement,

those who have taken out cancellation insurance have the possibility of contacting

directly to the insurance company and, in the case of having made the purchase through

of a travel agency, they can contact it for advice.

On the other hand, it is possible that tickets have been purchased on Spanair for

flights operated by other companies, which do not have to be affected by the cessation

of operations. In this case, the recommendation is to contact the airline that

operates the flight, to check if the flight will take place normally.
