Jet2 passengers travelling to Corfu claim they were locked in a "boiling plane for hours" after their flight was diverted 300 miles away.Holidaymakers were instead taken to Athens after allegedly being told there was "no room" for them to land at the Greek island airport on Friday.Travellers claim the LS951 flight, which departed from Manchester, then sat for several hours on the tarmac as temperatures outside soared to 32C.
Michael Webster, who was on the plane, told the Manchester Evening News: "The flight departed one hour late, then as we approached Corfu the captain said we couldn't land as they had no room for us on the stand. "We were circling with three other planes.
He said we're running low on fuel and if it didn't land, we'd have to divert to Athens."Michael said passengers had been stuck in the aircraft for hours, with little communication about what would happen next."We were there for over three hours, quite worrying at temperatures that have been 32 degrees outside, never mind in the plane," he added. "Jet2 keep apologising, but it's awful.
Babies crying, lots of hot unhappy toddlers and now some adults getting angry too."Michael said the flight, which left Manchester at 8.19am - one hour after their scheduled 7.20am departure time - eventually arrived in Corfu at 4.30pm - eight hours late.
