The plane must take off at 2.40 pm at 5:50 PM. The passengers have to land on Mallorca to enjoy their vacation. But on Thursday the plane and the mood remained on the ground.
You are happy for many weeks, packed the suitcase, big plans for excursions and the desire for relaxation. Shortly before all these dreams can come out at the airport, the annoying message comes: the flight shifts. “Because of an air traffic controller in France,” explains spokeswoman Barbara Schmoczer-Kuchling from the airport press.
Because even if the direct flight from Klagenfurt to Palma should not interfere in France, the airspace by the strike is not considered not protected, flights must therefore be canceled – of all airlines. Otherwise, security would not be guaranteed.
For Thursday and Friday, the strike in France influences air traffic throughout Europe. Hundreds of thousands of travelers are being hit.
The French air traffic controllers strike to draw attention to the lack of staff and outdated technology. The strike is planned for two days, ie for Thursday and Friday.
New departure time planned
In Klagenfurt, however, the flight to Palma is still to start today: “The service of the crew was exceeded due to final problems. A replacement crew is now planned to arrive at the airport in Klagenfurt at 10 p.m.,” said the spokeswoman for the airport. This crew will then perform the FR2173 from Klagenfurt to Palma de Mallorca. The departure is planned at 10:35 am.
“In the name of Ryanair we apologize for the inconvenience. All passengers are asked to finally be back at Klagenfurt Airport at 9 p.m.,” said Barbara Schmoczer-Kuchling from Klagenfurt Airport. So from tomorrow the carint still has to enjoy their vacation.
