They dreamed of an autumn change of scenery and Italy. They did not miss the Neapolitan getaway offered by Air Corsica departing from Ajaccio and Bastia between November 19 and 23. And, in the end, passengers on the two direct flights from Ajaccio and Bastia to the Campania city saw a little more of the country than expected.
Time slots
“ 3 days before departure we were notified that we would be arriving and departing from Salerno, a little over an hour by road. This surprised us,” passengers say. However, they will reach the set goal but in an unforeseen way, by bus. “We have made every effort to ensure the transfer of our passengers to the destination airport and we have therefore taken care of the chartering of a bus between Salerno airport and Naples Capodichino airport“, we indicate from the company.
The change of flight plan and program is linked to the mode of operation of time slots, this period of time, 20 minutes on average, during which a given flight can land and take off and which must be reserved sufficiently in advance. What the Corsican company did on its side.
Except that “the Italian organization which manages the slots waited until the last moment to respond to Air Corsica, hoping to be able to provide a positive response, which ultimately was not the case. It was therefore necessary to reschedule the flight at the last minute to the nearest airport: Salerno“, we explain.
