Why Airlines Are Running near Empty Flights
Other
I often wondered why airlines make journeys with nearly empty flights
I saw one today where there was only one passenger on board
Now i realise
There is a so called ''use-it-or-lose-it” rule under EU law, states airlines must fly 80% of their flights on a slot in order to safeguard their presence at major hubs for the next season
So despite losing thousands each journey they have to fly despite a lack of passengers
I think it’s time the eco protesters get the EU laws changed. Shame I don’t know any of the INSULATE group.
