A passenger stuck in 26-hour long delays returning from Rhodes arrived in Manchester only to be trapped on the tarmac after his flight finally landed.
Andrew Barlow, from Reddish, Stockport, faced a battle to get home after an 11-night holiday on the Greek island with his wife and friends. He said passengers were getting ready to board the Ryanair plane at Rhodes airport on Friday night, before then being told their flight would not go ahead that evening.
It was not until 11.30pm on Saturday that the FR9077 Ryanair plane eventually took off, 26 hours after the initial flight time. Once it finally landed back in Manchester, in the early hours of Sunday, Andrew then claims passengers were left on the tarmac for an hour due to a ground staff shortage. He eventually arrived home in Stockport shortly before 6am.
