Ryanair passengers sleep on floor in airport after diversion

Ryanair passengers slept on the floor in an airport after a flight was forced to make a sudden diversion.

The flight on May 12, which was due to fly from Manchester Airport to Faro, had to suddenly land in Nantes, France after a member of crew on board became unwell. However after landing, passengers were told the flight could not continue to their final destination until the following day, something that Ryanair says was due to a "strict curfew" at Nantes.

One passenger, Joanne Wharton told the Manchester Evening News that after landing, they remained sat on the runway for two hours with "no access" to water before disembarking and going inside the airport.
