Updated figures from the Canaries’ Department for Trade and Consumer Affairs reveals that more than 4,000 passengers in the islands have been affected as a result of the sudden collapse of Spanish airline, Spanair, last Friday.
A spokesman said the government department has offered to mediate in stranded passengers’ claims against the company.
The offer came from the Director General of Trade and Consumer Affairs in the islands, Gustavo Matos, who emphasised the importance of submitting claims correctly in such a complex situation.
Not least affected by the collapse, and perhaps most worrying for the islands’ tourist sector, are people from the mainland who booked to come to the islands for Carnival and over the Easter period.
Spanair, meanwhile, insist that their airport offices in the islands remain open to help passengers as best they can.
