Scotland-bound Ryanair flight crashes on runway as passengers face seven-hour delay

An Edinburgh-bound Ryanair flight was forced to abandon take-off after a crash with a ground vehicle on its way to the runway. Passengers were forced to wait seven hours for a new plane after the aircraft collided with the vehicle on Friday morning.

Scheduled to take off from Budapest Airport in Hungary, the airline confirmed that the plane had suffered "minor damage" as a result of the collision, reports Edinburgh Live. Those on board the aircraft were then disembarked from the plane, where they waited a further seven hours before a replacement flight was organised to Edinburgh Airport

On the flight were three Edinburgh men, who spoke previously about the nightmare they had experienced after their original flight home from Budapest was cancelled.
