Marina and her partner were on Spanish airline Vueling’s 7.40pm flight from Barcelona to Gatwick on Sunday evening, returning home to London after a holiday.
“After a 30-minute delay at Barcelona airport due to ‘weather conditions at the destination’, our flight finally took off for Gatwick at 8pm,” she said. “The pilot tried to land twice at Gatwick, but the conditions were too difficult. Everybody onboard was screaming and some people were having panic attacks.”
