At Last Travel Industry Receives Some Good News
Whilst no one minimises the cost to the airlines that may even see some of them go to the wall, this is just the tip of the ice burg. This has been severely affected businesses both here in the UK and also abroad. The list of affected businesses in the UK includes Airport car park operators, airport hotels, car hire companies, and airport retailers, companies involved in providing catering for the shops and airlines, airline cleaning staff and maintenance companies. Because the cloud is so unpredictable you cannot even stand down staff. The same goes for restaurants and cafes abroad, airport retailers, car hire companies, hotels and even golf courses.
The bigger problem for the tourist industry is one of confidence, many travelers were already committed to travelling but for those who were perhaps planning to holiday abroad over the next few months, they may well now re-consider their plans and this poses and even bigger threat to the industry.
When my own flight was cancelled late last Monday night, your first thought is one of bewilderment and sheer panic because you now have to find accommodation and get to it. So you along with literally thousands of others queue for a car and then dash off to find somewhere to stay and then look for an internet cafe to find a flight home. Whilst the initial impact of your situation becomes better with time, the threat of being stranded again remains and I would think very hard about placing myself in this position again.
The news today, that the density levels will be further relaxed with greater reliance being placed on aircraft engineers confirming it is safe to fly. The authorities have now accepted that some planes have a higher tolerance to the danger the ash can pose and there has been a further relaxation for these aircraft.
Flybe for example say that 350 cancellations in the past 36 hours would not have arisen under the new guidelines. The first relaxation saw tolerance levels double and this further relaxation also takes into account how long you will be travelling through the plume https://indowarta.com .
It would now appear that the chances of planes being grounded are significantly less and hopefully this will give the consumer the much needed comfort to book a holiday abroad.
