National Express is offering free coach travel to holiday-makers repatriated to a different airport due to Greek 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.
