Passengers on a Wizz Air flight from Cardiff to Corfu were left waiting at the airport for hours only for the flight to never take off. Holidaymakers heading to the Greek island on Sunday morning (August 7) were subject to a series of delays that saw them board and disembark the plane twice before the flight was cancelled altogether.
Over the course of the four-hour delay, a technical fault saw engineers "turn the plane on and off again" while passengers were sent back to the terminal with a £4 voucher for food. After they boarded the plane for a second time, the flight was cancelled due to staffing issues.
The delays and cancellation meant that some passengers had waited at Cardiff Airport for around seven hours for a flight that never took off and forced them to make alternative travel arrangements, with Wizz Air providing "absolutely no help" to those stranded.
