Air Crisis Survey launched

A survey of people whose travel has been disrupted by the crisis has been launched by the Institute of Transport and Tourism at University of Central Lancashire. The survey can be found on http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AirCrisisSurveyITT and the Institute is urging people to send the link to anyone they know who has been affected and to send it out through their networks.

"It is important to get as much systematic data as we can" said Jo Guiver, the researcher initiating the survey. "Once the dust has settled, literally, the story about what happened and how people felt about it will change. We are hoping our findings will be useful for airlines, government and others involved and mean we are better prepared should a similar emergency, caused by terrorism, fuel shortages, health scares or whatever, arise in the future."
