More than 200 Indian passengers were stuck at a remote airport in Turkey almost all day after their flight tied to Mumbai had made an emergency landing.
Virgin Atlantic Flight from London to Bombai had to carry out an emergency landing at the remote airport Diyarbakir in Turkey, News18 reported on Thursday. This left passengers stuck at the airport for 16 hours.
Why did passengers get stuck at the airport in Turkey for 16 hours?
Indian passengers from London to Bombai had to undergo an emergency landing when their flight faced medical emergency. However, the aircraft, VS 358, landed at Diyarbakir airport, which is not equipped with such situations.
Passengers were reportedly said that the aircraft faced some technical defects during landing and ensuring an alternative flight it takes time.
The stuck passengers left in the dark, no accommodation provided
Virgin Atlantic Airline has not yet meant a clear announcement of an alternative arrangement, so passengers in the dark on their next trip to the bomb.
“The emergency landing was carried out when one passenger had a panic attack. The airport in Turkey is not effective enough to handle the plane,” one of the passengers like News18 quoted.
Reportedly, they asked an airline to ensure an alternative mode of transport as quickly as possible.
Passengers also complained that they were not provided with accommodation.
“We did not get accommodation and we cannot even leave the airport because it is a military base,” said one of the NEWS18 passengers.
