Disgrace champions league final is the biggest club game and rebdls fans blind hope some airline out there can somehow rescue those people's day.

 

[Silvercity]

Indeed.....I wouldn't want to be the one phoning customers saying their flight is now not operating !

 

[Jerry]

Hopefully they'll find alternative aircraft!

 

[Silvercity]

I don't know if Ethiopian are operating or not now...lots if conflicting info !

There is an ET8702 ' go to gate ' on website now so it looks like at least this Eithiopean Airlines service is going

There was a report late last night on BBC news saying over 1000 people had their trips cancelled. At the end of the report the news reader said it looked like the problem with airports slots had been resolved although it didn't make it clear if the flights would now take place.

I do wonder if they have found another airport or perhaps a military base for the additional charter flights?

 

[Silvercity]

It seems the vast majority of flights are going to Kiev Boryspil Int Airport, there are however some which are going to Kiev Zhuliany Airport.

The reinstate Eithiopean Airlines this morning was 4 hours delayed due to a delay in paperwork at Kiev Airport, but it left in the end and I'm sure the fans on it were glad.

 

[Silvercity]

Two extra flights tonight to Kiev 7W 7774 at 2000 and BUR 925 at 2300

Kiev was a questionable choice for the final and such has proved to be the case. Although Liverpool sold out their 16,000+ tickets Real Madrid returned 2,000 of theirs owing to the difficulty their fans encountered in obtaining accommodation and travel problems.

Liverpool tried to obtain these returned tickets for their own supporters but ran into difficulties because of segregation issues. You have to wonder how additional Liverpool fans would have got to Kiev anyway.

In future final tie venues will be subject to a bidding system with adequate airport and accommodation provision two of the criteria.

I know it has cost the fans a fortune to do the trip.

I always thought that was the case now. When Cardiff put in it's bid i thought it had to prove that the area had an adequate amount of hotels and airport space.

Enjoying the sun while watching some exotics today...just seen an SAA A330 land (late)

Did the Ethiopian operate in the end?
