A growing number of passengers of Cronos Airlines are expressing frustration and concern at the Malabo airport due to the cancellation of their flights and the lack of information on when they can travel to the continental part of Equatorial Guinea. Several passengers had planned trips to various locations in the continental part, which have been disrupted by the cancellations.
On Tuesday, passengers were informed that they had to interrupt their check-in process and head to the airline's offices. After several hours of waiting, they were informed that their flights had been cancelled. The manner of communication varied depending on how the tickets were purchased, with some passengers being told they would receive a message and others being asked to provide their phone numbers for updates.
One passenger who bought her ticket on Tuesday showed a message she received on Thursday, October 29, at 8:03 am, informing her that flight 901 to Bata would be rescheduled due to a technical issue, but without a new departure time. This situation has caused significant uncertainty for the passengers, who are still waiting for a confirmation on their travel dates.
The passengers have also expressed discontent with the fact that tickets were still being sold on Tuesday, despite the ongoing cancellations. One passenger questioned the logic of selling tickets if the airline was aware of the problems, suggesting that an alternative solution such as traveling by boat could be explored if the situation persists.
The situation is further complicated by the suspension of flights by Ceiba Intercontinental, another airline operating in the region. According to information available, Ceiba Intercontinental's aircraft need to undergo maintenance, reducing the available options for air transport between Malabo and Bata.
As of the latest updates, passengers of Cronos Airlines remain without a confirmed date for their travels and are requesting clear information on when the flights will resume. The cancellations have caused significant disruptions to the travel plans of many individuals, who are now seeking solutions to their transportation needs.
With the uncertainty persisting, passengers are considering their options, including the possibility of requesting a refund for their tickets. The situation highlights the challenges faced by air travelers in Equatorial Guinea and the need for clear communication from airlines regarding flight disruptions.
