Coach operator offers free travel to repatriated holiday-makers affected by wildfires

Leading coach operator National Express is offering free coach travel to Greek holiday-makers repatriated to a different airport than they flew out from.

National Express will transport people and their luggage, if they have it, back to their original airport or a different location of their choice within the UK.

Managing director of National Express Coach, Chris Hardy, said: “We 've all seen the horrifying experiences people have had in the Greek wildfires on the news. This is the least we can do to help them get back home. ”

Anyone who has been repatriated and requires a free coach ticket should show proof of their original flight and airport and the boarding pass of the flight they have taken.

Chris added: “National Express is proud to step up in these national moments to help people get home. ”

National Express also honours coach travel already booked for any date subject to availability if customers ' onward travel plans have been impacted in unforeseen circumstances.

National Express runs over 1,800 coach services a day, with all major and regional airports regularly served.
