A group of Irish holidaymakers were left stranded after they were unable to board their Ryanair flight from Fuerteventura to Dublin on Thursday morning. The group of 38 passengers were diverted to other airports and some are still waiting to get home.
The reason for them being left behind was that one of the cabin crew on board had taken ill and as a result, there were not enough crew members to cover a full flight.
The captain announced that 38 people would have to volunteer to stay behind but that ended up being most of the people who were still waiting on the tarmac. In the end, they hadn’t actually volunteered.
