A tour operator who cancelled flights to the Champions League final has claimed it will be taking legal action against the airline and the broker.
WorldChoice Sports has apologised to Liverpool FC fans who were stranded at Liverpool John Lennon Airport on Saturday, May 28 but added it could have happened to any operator putting the blame on its broker and the airline. A spokesperson for the Widnes -based tour operator told the ECHO the flights were cancelled due to airline Air Caraïbes failing to obtain the necessary third country operator permits from the Civil Aviation Authority.
The aircraft from the French airline company was due to perform two rotations to take fans to the final. But the spokesperson for WorldChoice Sports added they were only told by broker Air Charter Services about the lack of permits less than 24 hours before the day of the final.
