5.7 million passengers departed from Portuguese airports and 44 thousand planes took off between January and March. Of the total number of flights originating in Portugal, almost 30% suffered disruptions that affected more than one million passengers, according to data from AirHelp made available to “Live Money”.
According to the newspaper, if an average value of 400 euros per compensation is considered, the 67 thousand passengers eligible to receive compensation can claim 26.8 million euros from the airlines. This is if they have suffered a flight delay of more than three hours, a cancellation or a missed connection caused by the delay of the first flight.
In the year to March, there were 500 canceled flights, which compares with the 800 cancellations in the same period last year, the publication also adds, revealing a reduction in the number of cases of flights that suffered disruptions.
