A couple have described a "traumatising" TUI flight where passengers heard two loud bangs come from an engine before people were thrown from their seats in turbulence.
Care workers, Tina and Leslie Driver were onboard a delayed flight from Manchester Airport to Cape Verde on Monday, June 27, when they reported hearing two 'enormous' bangs coming from one of the engines after being in the air for ten minutes. Soon after, the pilot of the TUI BY216 flight told passengers there was a technical issue with the plane, he had sent an emergency 7700 code and that he would need to make an emergency landing.
Leslie, who's from Woodchurch, Wirral, and booked the holiday three years ago, said these weren’t the first issues they had, with the aircraft being "very hot" when they first boarded.
