Mozambican airline LAM warns of possible schedule changes, reduced capacity and flight cancellations in the coming days, owing to temporary restrictions on aviation fuel supplies. According to a company statement relayed by AIM, affected passengers will be able to get a free rebooking or a refund.
The Mozambican airline LAM, Linhas Aéreas de Moçambique, warns that it may change its timetables, reduce its services and cancel flights in the coming days. It cites temporary restrictions on supplies of Jet A-1 aviation kerosene, according to a statement published on 14 November.
Its suppliers have informed it of delivery limitations that could disrupt its regular flight schedule. The company says its teams are working in close coordination with these suppliers and aviation authorities to limit the effects, with the safety of operations and assistance to passengers remaining the priority. It advises passengers to check the status of their flight on its website, in its mobile app or with its customer helpline before going to the airport, and to update the contact details linked to their booking. Affected passengers may be rebooked free of charge or refunded, depending on the assistance policy in force.
This warning comes as Mozambique plans to restructure its LAM airline with Ethiopian Airlines, a project mentioned on 25 October.
