Around sixty passengers on the 8:05 a.m. Figari-Brest flight on Saturday, June 29, 2024, are living an ordeal. Arriving at Sud Corse airport around 6 a.m., they were checking in when they were told that the baggage conveyor belt was no longer working. “Only people with cabin baggage were called for boarding”says Emmanuelle Guil, who lives in Landivisiau.
The plane took off without passengers
Half an hour later, without any information being given to them, the plane took off. Without them. “He left with 30 or 40 people on board. All those who had checked baggage remained on land.”. And they are still waiting, in the middle of the afternoon: “Volotea’s after-sales service refers us to the airport, and the airport refers us to Volotea”despairs the passenger, who is traveling with a 4-month-old baby. “They don’t even offer us water, we’re in the thick of it! »
Other flights from Figari are experiencing the same problem, but passengers were reportedly allowed to board with their baggage in the cabin rather than in the hold: “Why weren’t we offered this solution? »
Destitute, passengers are waiting for a solution to take another flight or be accommodated this evening.
