Passengers were stuck inside a grounded Qatar Airways plane in Athens, Greece without air conditioning, as temperatures outside reached over 90°F.
Dozens of passengers who boarded a Qatar Airways plane in Athens, Greece on Monday expected to be on their way to their destination – Doha, Qatar – relatively quickly. Instead, they found themselves trapped inside a grounded plane for more than three hours, according to passenger Garth Collins, who posted about his experience on Instagram.
‘I’m a frequent flyer, I travel regularly, and I just don’t understand why we were allowed to board in the first place,” Zeiher said, according to 7News. “Not to mention what unfolded afterwards. It was just horrendous.” 7News reports that passengers took their shirts off to deal with the heat, with a few cups of water being handed out in the cabin.
