It was a long night of travel for Bristol couple, Dionne and Andrew German who were among the hundreds of furious passengers who were left stranded at Gatwick Airport in the early hours of Friday morning (March 10). This was after theirasyJet flight from Malaga was diverted from Bristol Airport.
Mrs German said their flight out of Malaga was delayed by over an hour and then “ten minutes” before they were due to land at Bristol Airport just before 11pm, the pilot announced the flight was being diverted to Gatwick Airport. She said: “The pilot said it was due to maintenance taking place at Bristol Airport. We had to wait for another hour to land as they had to squeeze us in at Gatwick”.
She said passengers were told there would be someone to direct them to coaches when they got to baggage collection. The coaches would be waiting outside the terminal to take them back to Bristol Airport.
