Thousands of stranded Brits scrambling to get home after airlines including Ryanair and Jet2 cancel flights for 6 weeks
ALMOST a million British travellers have been left stranded all over the world as airlines and borders shut down for the next six weeks due to coronavirus.
And there have been thousands of complaints from people trying to get back about airlines taking days to respond. "We started to think last Friday, we need to get out of here soon, we need to get thinking about flights. Then they were all cancelled." Jet2 said it is "continuing to operate our scheduled programme, with aircraft flying empty from the UK so that we can fill them and bring customers home".And many said they feared being stuck abroad during the deadly outbreak.
Colombian airline Avianca is considering operating a charter flight from Lima to London this weekend, but tickets for the one-way trip are "likely" to cost up to £3,000.
