LAS AMERICAS AIRPORT. –Dozens of passengers with reservations on the JetBlue airline, to New York, Orlando and other US destinations, have been carrying out protests in front of the airline counters since yesterday, due to flight delays and cancellations.
As airline employees who asked not to be identified, they revealed to journalists from this medium that the inconvenience to air operations that Jet Blue currently affects is due to the shortage of crew members.
Due to the angry protests of the passengers, many of them residing in different parts of the interior of the country, agents of the Tourist Police (Politur) and the uniformed services at Las Américas Airport, have had to intervene several times to control the situation.
It was reported that only yesterday, there were delays and cancellations of at least eight flights, most of them to New York City, due to the lack of pilots, co-pilots, flight engineers and flight attendants.
JetBlue’s response to flight delays and cancellations
This Thursday
Today there are long lines of people in the Jet Blue check-in area, looking to be able to travel to their destination, amid claims that an airline executive appears to offer explanations about flight delays and cancellations.
“The employees who check the passengers cannot speak and the only thing they ask people is to be calm, but with the desperation of one to reach their destination, how can they be calm”; travelers explained when they reacted angrily.
Many of the passengers claim that they made their reservations early, so now they are facing problems traveling to their destination, most of them to New York, Miami and Orlando.
“Jet Blue is causing a lot of problems for the Dominican Republic because it constantly leaves hundreds of passengers stranded at the airports, as if that’s nothing,” say the travelers left at the Las Américas Airport.
