42 hour delay for Thomson Glasgow flight
27.10.09
A four-hour holiday flight from Glasgow Airport turned into a 42-hour ordeal for 200 passengers, the Evening Times reports. Their Boeing 757 left on Friday at 07:30, but did not arrive at Corfu, Greece, until Sunday.
The Thomson flight was forced to land at Thessolonika with technical problems. It was refuelled and took off for Corfu but could not land due to bad weather. It then returned to Thessolonika, where it was refuelled again and eventually flew to Athens, where it was grounded for the night.
Passengers were put up in an airport hotel, but when they returned to the airport on Saturday morning they were delayed again. Their plane eventually flew out late on Saturday and arrived on Sunday morning, 42 hours after taking off and a day-and-a-half late.
