Two more days of unrelenting hostile media coverage here in Catalonia for Vueling.

Press and tv insist that though marginally better yesterday afternoon (Saturday) the broad picture remains one of multiple cancellations, of endemic delays and of a wilderness of disgruntled passengers asserting that both the concept of providing an airline service as per contract as well as complying with law EU261/2004 is not taken seriously by Vueling.

The Catalan ministry involved has promised to send somebody from their city centre offices to BCN to find out what is happening.

Tomorrow !

But the company has gone to ground and is apparently refusing to answer press queries. Radio and tv reporters were forced to use the airline's website for up to date information in these circumstances.

I can only hope as an IAG shareholder that all the executives and press wallahs who seem so indifferent to this slew of terrible publicity are in fact currently hunched over their computer screens trying to work out where they take the company post-Brexit.

And not sitting quaffing champagne and eating strawberries at Wimbledon whilst the company's reputation is further thrashed by the hour here in Catalonia, which is arguably Vueling's single biggest market.
