Flights: Finnair plane delayed for nearly three hours at Manchester airport leaving fliers stranded
The Finnair flight was due to depart Manchester airport for Helsinki but passengers were left “stranded” on the tarmac for nearly three hours before it was cancelled.
The delay was initially caused by a technical fault. The aircraft then attempted to take off before eventually being cancelled.
Infuriated passengers took to Twitter to complain, with one flier claiming they were left waiting as long as five hours.
“Shocking service failure,” one passenger tweeted. “Stranded for 5 hrs on tarmac, cancelled flight then refuses to rebook me on alternative flight that would allow me to arrive in time for my commitments.”
She added: “#servicefailure #worstairlineever” as she tweeted the Finnish airline this morning.
