Air connections between Grande Terre and the islands are once again disrupted this Monday, December 23. The first flight of the morning was canceled due to an “operational problem” announced Air Calédonie. The second is suspended.
The improvement was short-lived for Air Calédonie and its passengers. This Monday morning is a “operational problem” which is mentioned by Aircal to Caledonians and tourists who were waiting for their 6:10 a.m. flight to Lifou. Informed at 7 a.m., they were asked to register on a list to leave with Betico.
Already 200 people are on the list, assures a traveler stuck at the Magenta aerodrome in Nouméa. “We can only sympathize with their difficulties but they must make the effort to transport the passengers in need.”, he testifies, hoping to be able to join his family for the end-of-year holidays.
