Passengers have been left stranded on a Greek island for two full days after a flight back to Manchester was delayed by 48 hours.
The flight was originally supposed to depart from Heraklion airport, in Crete, at 1.55am yesterday morning (Saturday September 17). It was initially rescheduled for later that day and passengers were told to go back to the airport, only for it to be pushed back until 2.10am tomorrow morning (Monday September 19).
Flight operator TUI has blamed a 'technical fault' and in an email sent out to customers, the explanation for the delay given was "the expiration of crew hours due to air traffic control disruption".
