Dublin mum and autistic son among those still stranded in Turkey following Aer Lingus chaos

A Dublin mum and her five-year-old autistic son are among the dozens of Aer Lingus passengers stranded in Turkey after their Saturday night flight back to Ireland was cancelled.

The airline scrapped 51 flights on Saturday after an IT outage flung their website, check-in and boarding systems into chaos. The issue has since been resolved, but thousands of passengers have been left trying to rebook flights for holidays or get home.

Karen White was due to return to Dublin from a holiday in Turkey on Saturday night but her flight from Izmir was cancelled. She told Dublin Live that herself and her fellow passengers are stranded with no idea how they will get home.
