Transport Minister Graziano Delrio
will meet officials from civil aviation authority ENAC and Rome
airport operator ADR on August 4 to discuss the situation at
Fiumicino airport after a nearby forest fire and temporary
blackout led to scenes of chaos there this week.
ENAC said earlier in the day that the crisis was nearly
over and operations were returning to normal after delays and
cancellations in previous days.
But consumer group Codacons said in a statement that
passengers were still facing delays and problems when boarding.
The group posted a form on its website www.codacons.it that
passengers can use to apply for compensation for delays and
cancellations.
It has also asked for a meeting with ENAC to discuss the
best ways to protect the rights of travellers caught up in the
disruptions this week.
