Passengers on a flight which was diverted to Gatwick have said they were left "stranded" after claiming transport back to Bristol was not provided. This comes amid further travel chaos at Bristol Airport as some flights are diverted due to bad weather and French air traffic control strikes.
Several flights scheduled to leave today to Edinburgh and Pisa were diverted, and passengers on an EasyJet flight from Malaga to Bristol Airport were diverted to Gatwick in the early hours of this morning. Some passengers claimed they were delayed by eight hours by the diversion, while another said they received a text at 3.20am saying passengers should make their own way back to Bristol, which they would be reimbursed for.
Angry passengers posted to Twitter saying they were told there would be coaches which would take them to Bristol after the plane was rerouted to Gatwick. However, a text shown to BristolLive which the recipient claimed was from EasyJet advised passengers to make their own "reasonably priced arrangements back to Bristol".
