Terrified TUI passengers in 'floods of tears' after pilot aborts Manchester Airport landing during blizzard
Terrified passengers were in 'flood of tears' as a 'trainee pilot' was forced to abort a landing at Manchester Airport during a snowstorm. The TUI flight from Tenerife was due to arrive at around 8pm on Thursday - but the pilot was forced to divert the jet to East Midlands instead due to the extreme weather conditions.
Gareth, from Glossop, criticised TUI for not telling passengers about the diversion until after the plane had landed. He said: "We knew from the news that the weather was going to be bad, but as soon as were started coming into land it just didn't feel right. There were crosswinds and we were buffeted about in the turbulence.
The travel firm says passengers were also offered the choice to make their own way home and claim the costs back or were offered accommodation where it was unsafe to travel.
