Flights to Bordeaux, Faro, and Malaga from Waterford Airport

As some may know already, these flights were suppose to commence last Friday 22nd June, but so far they have not began. All passengers which were booked on flights up to now were brought by bus to either Cork or Shannon and their flights went from there.

Slattery Travel are the company operating these flights and they say that the hold up is due to some sort of issuing of a licence of some sort. To be honest, I think its very unprofessional for these delays to be happening. They have been advertising these flights for the last 3 months and as of yet, not one flight has left from Waterford.

All affected passengers have been offered compensation of €65 to each passenger along with free food and drinks on their flights along with a free return flights from Waterford to any of their 3 locations for each passenger.

Waterford Airport inform me however, that what ever licensing issue there was, has now been sorted out and that the first of theses flights is to arrive in Waterford airport at 18.25(approx) this evening.
