Passenger Bill of Rights

We pride our services in offering a customer focused experience and place great emphasis on safety and reliability. However, like all airlines we are sometimes forced to reschedule or cancel flights and regrettably flights can be delayed. We are not liable for delays caused by Extraordinary Circumstances nor are we liable for missed connections where the connecting flight is booked on a separate ticket. You are therefore strongly advised to purchase Travel Insurance from your travel agent or tour operator before you travel.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your e-mail and Mobile phone contact details are correct in your reservation record and that you enable SMS when roaming or use a Whatsapp number as your reservation phone contact.  Please note that we are not liable for any consequential lost resulting from delays, cancellations, rescheduling or other disruption to our flights.
