Edinburgh passengers 'trapped on plane' after no workers available to help them

Swissport has apologised after Edinburgh passengers were stuck onboard a plane after landing in the capital, as there was nobody available to bring the steps to the aircraft.

Passengers were stunned after they had to wait onboard until someone was available to help, with the captain reportedly informing those onboard that there was a 'Covid sickness issue' with staff.

Julie Cupples was onboard the flight, arriving in the city on Tuesday, March 29, from Amsterdam, but was greeted with an announcement informing her, and the rest of the passengers, that they would have to stay onboard until someone was available to help them disembark and that they didn't know how long this would take.
