Repatriation flights from Spain

Do you have any information on repatriation flights for UK citizens stranded abroad in Spain, Italy, France, etc? My disabled cousin has been stranded in Malaga since March 21 st. Since then he has received new boarding passes from Easyjet every week for non-existent flights.


He is fortunate to be in an apartment owned by my goddaughter and does not have to pay any rent, but there are many others there who are not so lucky. When are they going to get home.? The Consulate is no good and just says contact your airline and the airline says to contact the Consulate Catch 22!


The Foreign Office is equally not helpful for people stranded in Europe. Perhaps you can investigate and publicise this to speed up the response to this crisis.
