BRITISH AIRWAYS, SAS AND FINNAIR CONFIRM YET MORE CANCELATIONS AS THEY CUT THE PUBLICATION OF EMBARRASSING PUNCTUALITY, BAG & CANCELATION STATS
AIRLINES ADMIT STATS “CAUSED US A GREAT DEAL OF GRIEF” – NOT AS MUCH AS THEIR ABYSMAL SERVICE CAUSES PASSENGERS!
Ryanair, the world’s favourite airline, today (13th July) called on British Airways, SAS and Finnair to admit they are hiding their abysmal punctuality, lost baggage and cancelation statistics because they can not compete with Ryanair’s industry leading service with the least lost bags, the fewest cancelations and the best on-time record of any major European airline.
Ryanair made the call after the airline’s representative group, the AEA, admitted that it no longer publishes the statistics as they ‘caused us (AEA airlines) a great deal of grief’ (in terms of negative publicity) while ignoring the grief their members dreadful performance causes passengers.
Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said:
“Ryanair delivers Europe’s guaranteed lowest fares, least lost bags, best on-time performance and fewest cancelations and we continue to highlight the abysmal customer service performance of high fares airlines such as BA, SAS and Finnair. By refusing to publish up-to-date information the AEA is allowing their low service airline members to ignore passengers.
Ryanair will continue to use the AEA’s most up-to-date punctuality, lost bag and cancelation data to highlight the rotten performance of BA, SAS and Finnair and other high fares airlines who lose up to 20 bags per 1,000 passengers and frequently delay and cancel flights.
The AEA’s position is clear, they hide the truth to avoid ‘a great deal of grief’ for their airline members yet ignore the grief they cause passengers every day by losing their bags and delaying and cancelling their flights.”
