La NCC remite a FlySafair al Tribunal Nacional del Consumidor por sobreventa de billetes

La Comisión Nacional del Consumidor ha remitido a FlySafair al Tribunal Nacional del Consumidor, citando una conducta inadmisible en sus prácticas de sobreventa de vuelos. La medida se produce tras una investigación que abarca las reservas realizadas entre noviembre de 2024 y enero de 2025. Más de 5.000 pasajeros se vieron afectados mensualmente durante ese periodo.

La comisión sostiene que la aerolínea violó múltiples secciones de la Ley de Protección al Consumidor, incluida la sección 47, que exige a los proveedores reembolsar a los consumidores o proporcionar servicios equivalentes cuando no pueden cumplir con los términos acordados. FlySafair mantiene que ha actuado legalmente. El jefe de marketing, Kirby Gordon, declaró que los hechos demostrarán que la aerolínea siguió las directrices de las notas consultivas del Defensor del Pueblo de Bienes y Servicios de Consumo sobre la sobreventa. La comisión busca imponer una sanción de hasta el 10 por ciento de la facturación anual de la aerolínea. FlySafair ofrece a los pasajeros afectados un reembolso completo o una compensación de 1.000 rands cuando son excluidos de un vuelo.
