It was unacceptable for 156 passengers who boarded the charter Flight FPO 926 of Budget Travel bound from Spain to Cork yesterday when the flight was delayed for eight hours. The plane then made an emergency landing in Paris due to technical problems. The passengers, who holidayed in a Spanish resort in Salou, arrived at Cork shortly after 5pm August 19th – a day after the supposed schedule.
The flight was to take off from Reus at 2.30pm, Monday, but because of technical difficulties, flight FPO 926 departed after 10pm. After take off, passengers were informed that the captain decided to land the plane to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and a full-scale emergency was declared.
It was horrifying as kids were crying and people were terrified. There were people who were without money and low on medication. Nobody from Budget travel was there to help. Many said that they have decided to make formal lawsuit to Budget Travel. Budget Travel, However, apologized for what had happened and insisted that safety had to come first.
