A staffing issue meant that passengers on a flight to Manchester Airport had to spend a night in Tenerife.
The flight, a TUI service from Cape Verde to Manchester, was due to arrive on Friday (December 16) evening. However, shortly after take off, passengers were told the plane needed to stop as cabin crew had reached the maximum hours they were allowed to work.
The diversion to Tenerife was meant to allow for a crew change. However, passengers said they were met with an "empty" airport on the Canary Island and the flight was delayed overnight, reports the M.E.N.
