A holidaymaker claims passengers were left stranded at a closed airport in Croatia for hours after an emergency landing due to a crew member requiring medical attention. Louise Mapsie said that once passengers disembarked, they were told no accommodation was available and they would have to remain at the closed Zagreb Airport. EasyJet has since apologized for the inconvenience.
A holidaymaker claims they were stranded for hours at an airport in Croatia following an emergency landing. Louise Mapsie was returning to Manchester on an easyJet flight after a five-day Egyptian getaway when the pilot made an urgent call for medical assistance. A crew member had taken ill and needed immediate medical attention, prompting the diversion of the flight to Zagreb Airport on December 13, where paramedics were ready to transport the staff member to hospital.
There was nothing open, nowhere to get a drink, babies had gone for almost 20 hours with no milk. It was just horrific. We were terrified. Landing in a country that most of us had never heard of was scary enough. 'Seeing that the airport was closed and nobody was around to call for help, it was really scary. Every five minutes felt like an hour when you were sitting there shivering. At one point we didn't know if anybody was coming to get us.
