Manchester easyJet flight cancelled after passengers 'sat' in plane 'for three hours'

EasyJet passengers flying from Manchester today say their flight was cancelled last-minute. One passenger says she was only told of the change while they were sitting in the plane.

The woman who has contacted the Manchester Evening News says she was due to fly to the Egyptian city of Hurghada at 1.15pm this afternoon (May 23). However, she is currently ‘at home’, having never left the runway.

She added: “Our flight was delayed multiple times, only to be told at 5pm when [we had] already been sat on the plane for three hours that it was cancelled. We had been there since 9am.”
