Great Western Railway (GWR) is offering free Standard Class travel to Eastern Airways customers and staff affected by the airline’s collapse into administration.
The scheme mirrors that offered by nationalised train operators and will be in place on Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 October for journeys between Newquay and London Gatwick, helping those left stranded after the airline suspended operations earlier this week.
Passengers simply need to show either a valid Eastern Airways boarding pass, flight confirmation, or staff ID to GWR station or on-board staff to arrange travel.
GWR Operations Director, Richard Rowland, said:
“We understand how difficult it must be for those affected by the sudden suspension of Eastern Airways flights. We’re pleased to be able to step in and help customers and staff complete their journeys, ensuring they can get to where they need to be.”
The arrangement mirrors similar support being offered by other train operators across the country, coordinated through the Rail Delivery Group.
