Airline charges British tourists Rs 20,200 each to get home from Brusels

March 22, 2016 21:52

Ryanair is charging of a group of 28 British passengers in Brussels nearly 6,000 (Rs 5.6 lakh) in total to change their flights to this evening. The Belgian capital has been hit by two major terror attacks, at Zaventem airport and Mallbeek metro station, which have left at least 30 people dead.

A group of Britons was trying to get home from the city a day earlier than planned and had been told the new flights would cost them 214 (Rs 20,200) each. A Ryanair spokeswoman said the high fare was due to the fact there were only 28 seats remaining on the flight.
