People are now saying they want to cancel the whole flight. I don't want to fly with TUI now after this and seeing what happened a few days ago.
Another passenger, Chris Norton, said: "Air crew were all calm, confident and reassuring. Captain and first officer performed as expected." A TUI spokesman said: "We can confirm flight TOM216 to Boa Vista, Cape Verde, has returned to Manchester Airport this afternoon due to a technical issue. The aircraft landed at 13:12 and all passengers and crew were disembarked safely.
