Spanish Airline Air Nostrum Kicks Passengers Off Plane To Make Room For Football Team

Air Nostrum has come under criticism for canceling a scheduled passenger flight from Vigo to Madrid in favor of transporting the Spanish football club Sevilla FC. The controversial decision by the Spanish airline meant that 80 passengers had to travel the 600 km (372 miles) to Madrid by bus, taking some four hours longer to reach their final destination than the one-hour flight time.
