Glasgow holidaymakers were left stranded in Cyprus after their Jet2 flight home was cancelled without notice.
The flight, which was due to depart from Larnaca Airport on Wednesday night, was axed after an emergency incident on the inbound flight from Glasgow Airport forced the plane to divert to Budapest.
Holidaymakers were waiting at the gate to board the plane when they were informed that the flight had been cancelled.
It is believed that up to 100 passengers due to board the flight were left in the airport for hours, the Daily Record reports.
Sharon Kyle, from Blantyre, was on holiday with her husband and son to celebrate her 50th birthday and says the family were 'dumped' at a hotel by the airline.
She said she and her family - along with around 40 other passengers - were taken to a local hotel in the early hours. They are due to fly back to Manchester tonight before being shuttled back to Glasgow by bus.

Sharon told the paper: "When we got to the airport at around 7pm they told us to go to our gate. They dumped up us at this hotel at around 3am, we didn't even know where we were. It is absolutely appalling how we've been treated. The Jet2 staff were being extremely rude.
"We've just been left stranded here and abandoned. Why are Jet2 not getting a plane out here to take us to Glasgow this morning? We're just not getting answers. People have missed their work. It's the end of the holiday and it's been ruined.
"We were due to come back in September with Jet2 and my husband's wanting me to cancel it."
Jodie Turner, 22, and her aunt Lynne Milne, 50, from Paisley, were also among those forced to spend the night in a hotel. The 50-year-old suffers from diabetes, fibromyalgia and has a heart condition that requires daily medication.
However, the delay has meant Lynne does not have enough doses to see her through until they arrive home on Friday.

Jodie said: "We brought an extra dose for her so that she had enough but then all this has happened. We've managed to get a Jet2 rep to go a pharmacy they need a doctor to write a prescription.
"She only just had a heart attack a couple of months and we're really worried that something could happen on the flight."
Jet2 confirmed that the inbound flight was cancelled due to an urgent medical incident, and has apologised to passengers for the disruption.
A Jet2 spokesperson said: “Yesterday, flight LS141 from Larnaca to Glasgow had to divert to Budapest due to a customer requiring urgent medical attention.
"The unforeseen delay caused by this divert meant that our cabin crew ran out of operating hours, meaning that the flight could not return as scheduled from Larnaca to the UK.
"Our teams have worked extremely hard to provide a number of options for customers including swapping onto imminent Jet2.com flights back to the UK, cancelling with a full refund, or amending their booking to a flight of their choice.
"Where customers have chosen to swap onto another Jet2.com flight today, we are doing everything to look after them including providing hotel accommodation and food & drink.
"We have spoken to Ms. Kyle today and our team are attending the hotel to ensure she and other customers have everything they need. We would of course like to apologise to all affected customers by these unforeseen circumstances."
