Tension is growing among the passengers of a Ryanair flight departing from Bergamo and headed for Cagliari , now stuck at the airport without knowing if they will be able to reach the island within the night .
The departure from the airport was scheduled for 16.30 , then postponed to 17.10 . But the plane never took off. "They made us embark in a hurry, then they left us on board, with the aircraft stationary on the runway in the sun", says Giancarlo Moi , returning to Sardinia with his partner. «But once seated and ready to go we understood that something was wrong . So we stayed there, the air conditioning off and the temperature rising more and more with each passing minute. We got to the point where people started feeling sick, people were dripping with sweat,” explains Moi.
The P rhymes reassurances calmed spirits: the plane could not leave because, after the delay, the p This was «too crowded». But the request for some water was answered by the crew that "it was available but only for a fee". At one point the heat was so unbearable that «a lady and a boy felt so ill that an ambulance was called to help them . They also 'threatened' us, saying that if we didn't keep calm they would call the police."
At 6.45 pm the communication: the plane cannot take off, due to a technical problem. Thus, after almost two hours on board, the passengers were made to get off and escorted to the gate to await a return flight. «Currently we don't know anything, the plane should be there but – according to some rumors – the flight crew is missing. Now we just have to wait for news ».
