Plus Ultra, the airline to which the Government has granted a controversial aid of 53 million euros from the Sepi fund for companies in distress despite its little relevance within the airline sector, owes its customers 155,000 euros.

It is the amount that should have been reimbursed

for important delays, cancellations, loss of luggage or overbooking,

according to a complaint by reclaimer.es, the online platform in charge of managing customer complaints.

In the case of Plus Ultra, the aforementioned amount is for a claimable incident, like those mentioned, on any of its flights.

What it owes to the passengers exceeds 155,000 euros, but "they are only the claims managed by reclamador.es", they affect the platform.

The Government has been justifying the strategic nature of the airline all week, which in 2019, before the pandemic, only moved 170,000 passengers, compared to the 19 million that Air Europa moved, for example, which is the other airline rescued.

Yesterday the Minister Spokesman, María Jesús Montero, defended the strategic nature of this airline, which, in addition, is Spanish and employs more than 300 people, as justified.

Today the Third Vice President and Minister of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, Nadia Calviño, has done the same, who has said that

Plus Ultra "is Spanish, has a strategic character

for flights in Latin America and meets the financial situation requirements before and after the pandemic ".
