La aerolínea australiana Qantas acordó el lunes un pago de 66 millones de dólares tras el escándalo de “vuelos fantasma”, tras las acusaciones de que siguió vendiendo asientos de viajes cancelados.

El organismo de control del país dijo que Qantas “admitió que engañó a los consumidores” al anunciar asientos en decenas de miles de vuelos que habían sido cancelados.

Qantas también desembolsará 13 millones de dólares en compensación a 86.000 viajeros afectados por las cancelaciones y reprogramaciones fallidas.

La directora ejecutiva de la aerolínea, Vanessa Hudson, dijo que Qantas “decepcionó a los clientes y no cumplió con nuestros propios estándares”.

“Muchos de nuestros clientes se vieron afectados por nuestra falta de notificación de cancelación de forma oportuna y lo sentimos sinceramente”, dijo en un comunicado.
