National Airline's
Closes, Passengers Stranded
-
LAS VEGAS – Tourists in the nation's gambling capital
were left with questions and no tickets on Nov. 7 after
National Airlines ended nearly two years in bankruptcy
court and quit flying.
The
Las Vegas-based airline grounded its 18 aircraft late
Wednesday in Las Vegas with little warning and no refunds
for thousands of travelers forced to make other travel
arrangements.
Three
volunteer former National ticket agents and two airport
employees were helping dozens of travelers at the National
counter at McCarran on Thursday, but the company was offering
no refunds and was telling customers to contact their
credit card companies. The airline's Web site also was
shut down.
Rosemary
Vassiliadis, deputy airport director, said most other
airlines were honoring National tickets on a space-available
basis, but were charging fees for the switch. Airport
spokeswoman Hilarie Grey said that passengers with reservations
for future National flights were being told to contact
their credit card companies and other airlines by telephone.
