Tourism Day
12:00:00 - 26/09/20until 12:00:00 - 28/09/20
Travel item capacity doubled for flights leaving on this day


Should this not be "Travel item's capacity doubled for flights leaving on this day"

I assume as its the plural , no one has just 1 item .

this is already grammatically correct - [travel item capacity] is the phrase that is being modified by [doubled]

consider the alternate examples "passenger capacity doubled" - saying "passengers capacity doubled" would be wrong.

More than one item would be described as items with no apostrophe. Apostrophes are used to show possession, as in "Mike-Ray's grammar is atrocious".

Apostrophes are also used for conjunctions, which is two or more words combined into one, like if you take the words it and is to make it's. For example, "have you seen Mike-Ray's grammar? It's atrocious."


On Topic:. Travel item capacity is grammatically correct, like biosterous said.

I mean you try and help point out a possible issue and help the game and you get this sort of shit.

Unreal and rude and childish at best. ,
