This flight , was as explained to the passengers , firstly delayed because of an electrical fault , then a medical emergency , then was now allowed to leave Bordeaux , because the plane was over weight .
the passengers were standing on the tarmac ready to fly at about 7pm , but the Canadian owners of Sunwing wouldn’t let the pilots fly to Palma and then back to Aberdeen .The planes first flight of the day , was from Aberdeen and was , 2.5 hours late. The passengers received one voucher of £7 to spend initially , when the plane continued to be delayed , the second voucher was not handed out because everywhere was closed , but paper cups were found , so the passengers could use the water fountain .A plane was diverted from Cardiff , but TUI had not told Edinburgh , it needed refuelled . It took off at 1:27am on arrival in Palma only one bus had been arranged , so the passengers then had to wait another 75 minutes for a second bus , eventually getting to the ship at about , 7:40am .The passengers did not know if the ship , would still be there or not .TUI , have blamed an “operational disruption “ and have advised passengers , to claim on their travel insurance !
