Travellers on the Jet2 aircraft heading from Birmingham Airport to Antalya in Turkey had to make a stop in Greece due to what the airline called a medical emergency.
One traveller complained they were given only a €15 voucher to make up for the terrifying delay
One raging holidaymaker said the ordeal delayed the start of their break by eight hours, and complained they were given only a €15 voucher to cover a ‘basic meal’ in compensation for the terror. But the outraged traveller said about the incident on August 23 starting when the plane hit turbulence: ‘While we were all seated we noticed something was going on at the front of the plane. We thought someone had hurt themselves in the toilet while experiencing turbulence.
The plane landed in Thessaloniki, Greece, and stayed on the runway for about an hour waiting for an ambulance to arrive.The passenger added: ‘People were worried as we’d just been through turbulence and we didn’t know what was happening.‘The crew were amazing but once in the airport it was chaos.’
