Speaking on the day of the release of the operator’s Q1 results, group chief executive Peter Fankhauser said the operator was using “all of our flexibility and all of our brains” to manage the situation in north Africa and the eastern Mediterranean.
He added even though destinations like Sharm el Sheikh and Tunisia are out of bounds, parts of the region remain popular and the operator will continue to serve them providing the UK government says it is safe to do so.
Fankhauser said: “We follow the advice of the FCO... We are not security experts. We rely 100% on the advice of the government in assessing the safety of a destinations.”
