Scores of British holidaymakers were left stranded in ‘total chaos’ on the Greek island of Zakynthos on Tuesday, after an EasyJet plane was grounded for at least two days.
Technical problems with flight EZY9746 to London Gatwick meant it has been stuck on the tarmac since Sunday.
The Daily Mail reports that the budget airline tried to rescue the men, women and children involved, but a nighttime curfew on landings caused by endangered loggerhead turtles saw them cancel a relief flight.
Many of those involved in the Greek saga have also been left without adequate supplies, and problems finding hotel rooms at the height of the tourist season have been reported, according to the British tabloid.
