A partially-sighted Stockport man was left stuck waiting for help on a broken down plane for 40 minutes - while other passengers were ready to jet off. Chris, 29, had already had a challenging time boarding his Good Friday flight from Manchester Airport to Belfast before the easyJet plane had been unable to take off.
Passengers on-board the 11.55am service waited almost three hours after the technical fault emerged before a new flight was prepared to take off at 2.45pm. But while other passengers could soon make their way over to the new flight, Chris had to wait for assistance staff at Manchester Airport - and was left stuck on the original plane until 3.30pm.
He told the Manchester Evening News : "My seat was towards the back, but by that point the rear stairs had been taken away, so I had to walk past everybody which was really embarrassing. The crew were saying it wasn't my fault, but I could feel people looking at me, and as soon as I touched the seat we were moving off.
