With the easing of travel restrictions in the UK and France and
the start of the school holidays, British travellers flocked in
their numbers to use the Channel Tunnel to get to their place of
leisure quickly and securely.
Nearly 17,000 cars travelled between Friday 11 and Sunday 13
February aboard the Passenger Shuttles. The traffic observed during
this first weekend of the start of the winter holidays once again
demonstrates people's appetite for travel.
On Friday 11 February Flexiplus recorded its best performance
since the start of the pandemic with 1,551 crossings in the
Folkestone-Calais direction, representing more than 20% of daily
traffic. This is the third busiest day for Eurotunnel's premium
passenger service since its launch.
The great mobilisation of the teams for this first busy weekend
of the year made it possible to offer a top-of-the-range travel
experience. allowing nearly 50,000 passengers to cross.
Passengers were thus able to benefit from the services provided
by Eurotunnel, such as the Passenger Wallet, which allows for
digital pre-check-in for all passengers on a vehicle by grouping
together all information required for travel in a single
barcode.
Yann Leriche, CEO of Getlink, said: “It is thanks to our
teams, their commitment, and their professionalism that we were
able to meet our customers' expectations and succeed in this
remarkable collective effort. Eurotunnel has once again shown that
it is the preferred means of transport across the Channel.”
