Travelers on the Ryanair Perpignan-London flight, who were due to take off aboard a Boeing 737 this Tuesday, October 1 at 9:30 a.m., are still stuck at the Catalan airport at the end of the day. The machine, grounded for “repairs”, should not return to the air before 6:30 p.m. or 7 p.m.
Be patient, this is the lesson of October 1, 2024 for 175 passengers stranded at Perpignan airport. They are the holders of a Perpignan-London ticket. They were to take off towards Big Ben at 9:30 a.m. aboard the Boeing 737 which had just landed an hour before, at 8:34 a.m. precisely, on the tarmac at La Llabanère.
However, anomalies have been identified on the device. The airport’s communications teams are unable, at this time, to specify the details. “Repairs are underway“, he is assured.
Because since 9:30 a.m., there are 175 travelers who have not been able to take their flight on time. At 5 p.m. this Tuesday, October 1, they still had not boarded the craft. “We took care of them. They are not blocked in the departure lounge but most of them actually wait in our premises“, confirms Perpignan-Rivesaltes airport.
The flight finally took off at 6:45 p.m. this Tuesday. That is almost 10 hours after the initial time. Patience is the mother of all virtues…
