Flight bound for Manchester Airport forced to land in Tenerife overnight amid staffing issues
Passengers on a flight bound for Manchester Airport were were forced to spend a night in Tenerife after a staffing issue.
The flight was diverted to Tenerife so a crew change could happen but, upon landing, passengers say they were faced with an "empty" airport."It was really frustrating," said Richard Salkeld, who was on board the flight."It was very surreal. The communication and co-ordination from TUI was embarrassing. We were not told where we were going.
When a replacement cabin crew could not be sourced, the flight was delayed overnight. Mr Salkeld and his fellow passengers were taken to hotels on the island, where they spent the night. TUI says it arranged hotels and transport for all passengers, as well as providing them with food and beverages. "We are quite confident travellers but even we have found it challenging. A lot of people have found it a stressul experience, especially those who had other arrangements in place. People have missed work today."
