Spain requests court probe into cancelled airline trips

The Spanish government has found that airlines aren’t complying with EU rules for reimbursements over cancelled trips, according country’s Consumer Minister Alberto Garzon. “Airlines aren’t giving travellers the chance to request reimbursements,” Garzon said Wednesday. Government has made a legal request for a “court to investigate the situation,” he said, adding that he sent a letter to airlines outlining the issues and hasn’t received a response. Although airlines do have financial problems in facing potential requests for reimbursements, the government is providing financial backing to the industry.<br/>
