TUI passengers left to sleep on airport floor in Turkey after Glasgow flight axed while they waited at gate

Furious Scots families were left to sleep on the floor at Antalya airport for six hours after TUI axed their flight home while they waited at the gate.

The Glasgow-bound flight was due to leave Turkey at 10.40pm on Tuesday night before it was cancelled without any warning while the holidaymakers waited at departures.

After spending several hours waiting for an update, exhausted families curled up on the floor of the airport. At 5.30am, passengers were shipped off to a hotel while the airline tried to organise alternative flights. The holidaymakers were then brought back to the airport on Wednesday and told they would be split between flights to Doncaster, Manchester and Birmingham and a bus would be put on to take them to Scotland.
