I read the story last week and it was the airports problem but in saying that I don't trust anything Ryanair say so if I was on the plane I would have reacted the same.

This response in your passengers is what happens when you've a history of showing contempt for them.

What contempt has Ryanair ever shown to it's customers any more than all the rest!?

People fly Ryanair for a reason and its not to avail of their brilliant customer service

Customer service! I've never had a problem with, when your on a 50 min flight or a 3 hour flight, what do you want..... Maybe people who complain or need lots off attention should hire a private jet!!.... Obviously what happened on this particular flight was out of the ordinary, and as some people have already pointed out, the Airport was closed leading to confusion.. So defo 'all' not on their shoulders! would you not agree?

What were they meant to do? Just open the doors and let the passengers walk off with no ground handlers to get them to and into the building? There would have been passengers walking round all over the shop, amongst the fuel, on the runway (still busy with cargo flights).

Same old anti-Ryanair brigade kicking off

Yes, without people in hi-vis vests I'm sure people would have been entirely unable to find a brightly lit building and instead gone wandering off to get sucked into jet engines that were not even running at this closed airport. :rolleyes:

Errrmm...I have been in this situation with a 4 hour ground delay on a flight London to Cape Town. We were served dinner on the ground. What I bitched about was not getting a drink as "we are unable to serve alcohol because of UK licensing restrictions" what horsecrap, had I been twelve rows further forward I would have been on my seond bottle of complimentary prosecco and they damn well know it. :mad:

That's what I'm saying. Ryanair simply gets you from A to B and nearly always on time. This is a once off. If you want to be pampered you fly with a luxury airline. Simple.

Goddamit, i clicked it and went to 2:18 to see the the hot girl and u can only see her head! More false advertising!

Nino Brown · 24-02-2014 08:26AM

All that waiting and complaining, and if somebody had shouted the "B" word they all would have been off the plane in 30 seconds.

Odd that no one has mentioned the clown who lit up a cigarette on the tarmac after the passengers disembarked. What a dick!

Thing is though, after four hours, my on-board nicotine reserves are fully depleted and there's a HUGE chance that people could die as a result. It's a matter of life or death. "A bit grumpy" doesn't even begin to cover it. So I understand anyway.

Whisper it, but what used to happen a few years ago when all the ground staff and baggage handlers used to smoke like troopers? Did the airports regularly burst into flames? I love the way cigarettes are suddenly the closest thing to semtex, and lighting one akin to hurling a hand grenade with the pin half out.

Would they not speak in English?

Of course they'd have gone wandering off if they just been let off with no ground handling agents, the building was closed, they'd have been walking round everywhere looking for entry.

And the airport was closed for commercial flights, it was still taking in cargo which is in a different area so the runway was open

Hobbes · 24-02-2014 09:54AM

Clear case of SEP.

In this day and age the people should have tweeted that they were being held in the airplane without any food/water.

Then Ryanair could retweet it saying they have contacted the airport but not getting a response.

Give that 20 minutes and you would have the media at the airport and the chairman personally opening the doors.

What often happens is that the most relentless fans of the low frill model still lose the plot when something goes wrong.

I know exactly what it's like to be stuck on a plane craving for a cigarette. I too was a danger to other passengers when in that situation

But I still think that anyone who lights up on the tarmac beside a plane is just doing it to be a dick.

I would have gone a bit nuts if I was stuck on a static plane for that long. No doubt about it.
Ryan air could have dealt with it better. The air con and food/water would have helped. Clearly the plane was not taking off anytime soon so I dont see why they could not have served up.
But the groundstaff closing the terminal building when a plane full of passengers is sitting on the tarmac? Bad form.

Finally, we have to leave the key blame with God. He is the root cause of all this with his mad weather. (and no, God in this case does not refer to Michael O'L)

Jester252 · 24-02-2014 02:46PM

Must have been tough on the flight crew, their in the same situation only with a 100 or more people sh1ting on them.

Air con was on and water handed out as per the Ryan Air statement.

No other airline at that airport would let passengers off a plane without the terminal open and a ground crew to disembark them.

And you believe the RA statement to the word? Why in the video are people complaining about lack of refreshments having offered to pay?

Agree that there was no way to let the passengers off the plane, that's why I stated that the ground staff were at fault for locking the building with a plane full of passengers sitting on the tarmac and clearly going no where.

I don't know for sure. But when RA state that they gave out water on the plane this could well mean one cup of water to one passenger?

The RA statement also said that claims passengers called the police were false, but clearly in the video (which is realtime) we see the hot chick stating that SHE had called the police.

I am willing to change all my opinions on anything for a small fee.

Just sayin.

Do you know this for a fact? British Airways give a pre flight drink to Business and First Class passengers before pushing back. Would this not count?

I was on stuck on a plane on the tarmac for about 2 hours in Atlanta a couple of years ago in July, completely sweltering and the Delta staff said they weren't permitted to give out refreshments. I've heard similar from other people, but there obviously must be certain circumstances it's allowed given your story.

Still, you can be sure that Ryanair aren't carrying 190 bottles of water and 190 meals to supply all the passengers. I think I heard before that considerably less than 20% of passengers buy something from them, you can be sure they're not carrying needless excess weight on every flight.

I am pie · 24-02-2014 03:29PM

Am sure the police wouldn't have came based on a call from a passenger, I have no doubt they came in response to a call from the captain. No doubt some excitable person called the police, also no doubt the captain did and they responded to him as he could be relied upon to give a correct explanation of the situation.

Again, I doubt any other airline would have done anything differently, perhaps more water would have been handed out. I don't really see the need to be handing out food, it was the middle of the night. What meal did people need to be eating! Would food trsys down and lots of rubbish on the plane have made it more or less comfortable! As mentioned, not everyone would have received food which would have made a bad situation worse.

A bit less hysteria would have helped all round.

I think the police would respond regardless of who made the call

Naah. No poon-hunger here. It's just the thread is so deathly, utterly, fellatingly dull and pointless, that latching onto the fact one of the passengers appeared to be at the front half of the queue when they were handing out the looks seemed better than mashing the keyboard in indignation that a bunch of strangers had to sit in different chairs than usual for six hours. Personally, I was hoping for some form of food fight, or at least the letting off of a few fire-extinguishers. Twas a shyte mutiny tbh.

Exactly.

People seem to be completely ignoring the video evidence which shows passengers actually ringing the police themselves.

So are ALL those pissed off passengers telling lies? Hmmm...
