A mother travelling with her son and daughter has spoken of her horror as two Russian passengers managed to board her TUI flight from Mexico to Manchester illegally.
Anna-Marie Watters, 54, from Westhoughton had enjoyed an "amazing" holiday to Riviera Maya with her 18-year-old son Devon and 21-year-old daughter Taryn and was sat on the plane home, when it suddenly turned back from taxi-ing to the runway. She says the captain made an announcement that two passengers were on board illegally, with no visa or paperwork to allow them entry into the UK, and had to be removed.
She says: "People were wondering how on earth had two people got on a chartered flight without any documentation. It was very scary and it should not have been happening."
