Thomas Cook East Midlands flight 17 hour delay
16.08.09
Passengers on a flight to East Midlands Airport from the Greek island of Skiathos were delayed by more than 17 hours.
The plane made a routine stop at nearby Thessaloniki Airport to refuel, because the runway at Skiathos is too short for most planes to take off from with a full load of fuel, but developed a technical fault. Two engineers were flown out to Thessaloniki from the UK to sort out the problem. This meant passengers spent an unscheduled night abroad while the problem was rectified.
Flight TCX 181L arrived at 10:43 yesterday. Thomas Cook Airlines has apologised for the delay.
