Low-cost rivals step in to help stranded Sterling passengers

EasyJet has launched a special rescue fare of £35 for passengers left stranded after the cancellation of Sterling Airline flights today.

The fare includes all taxes and charges and one checked in bag up to a maximum of 20kgs, but is only applicable to passengers who are not covered by any airline insurance scheme.

The offer is available to any Sterling passenger due to travel home during the next seven days, or until midnight on November 5.

EasyJet flies to Copenhagen from Berlin, London and Milan, three routes that were also operated by Sterling.

Passengers from the UK should call the easyJet customer services on 0871 244 2366 and those from outside the UK should call 0044 870 6 000 000.

Passengers must provide the agent with their Sterling booking reference number and present their Sterling booking confirmation at check as further proof of booking.

Meanwhile, Ryanair has launched a less generous €100 rescue fare for Sterling passengers.

This fare applies to flights returning to Aarhus, Billund, Gothenburg, Oslo (Torp) and Stockholm (Skavsta).

Ryanair's rescue fare can be booked via the Ryanair website until Friday 7 November and applies to stranded Sterling passengers only.

Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said: "Sterling today failed it passengers by leaving them stranded thousands of miles from home. This underlines the risk of flying with an airline that is not financially stable and is unable to guarantee its survival in tough economic times."

Passengers must quote their Sterling booking reference and bring the same for verification at the airport check-in point.

Another long established airline goes to the wall.

Such a shame - they used to brighten up many a parking apron with their brightly coloured 737's (the yellow one, red one, blue one etc.) Shall be missed.
