Th CAA have taken on the task of flying 110,000 customers back home who are currently stranded, at a cost of around 60million pounds.

What a horrible position for anyone affected to find themselves in.

Never good when this happens. Hopefully they'll get people home without too many problems.

Agree - this sort of thing is never good. Nobody wins and it seems taxpayers will foot at least some of the bill to clean up the mess.


"Passengers, many of whom were already at airports, were then sent text messages informing them flights had been cancelled"

I'd be royally pissed (*) if caught in that position.



* That's Aussie for "quite miffed" ... Not to make light of the position of the folks left stranded.

Hopefully nobody booked a flight only, under £100 on a credit card. They may struggle to get their money back.
