Flybe to charge for check-in
07.03.08
Flybe has announced it may charge passengers in the future for using its check-in desks at the Isle of Man Airport. The airline plans to install self-service kiosks within the next month to speed up the process checking in for flights, and is expected to charge those who prefer to use a check in desk. We assume that this charge, which mirrors a move by Ryanair last year, will be rolled out at other airports too.
A spokesman for Flybe said: 'Self-service check-in at airports is increasingly popular with our passengers throughout our network and, because of the increasing customer demand for a speedy service at our airports, we are installing more and more self-service kiosks.'
'We have long been on record as saying that those passengers who want the personal service of a check-in desk or prefer to use one out of habit will be costing other passengers a lot of money. It is not unreasonable therefore that at a point in the future, we will charge those passengers who choose to continue using desk check-in.'
