Pilot tested positive: passengers are stuck in the plane
Coronavirus on board: The cause of a particularly unpleasant journey for aircraft passengers.
Because the pilot tested positive for a corona infection shortly before take-off, the passengers had to stay locked in the plane for an eternity. Even the airline’s “reparations” are unlikely to have reduced travelers’ frustration.
Air travel is usually stressful enough under the best of conditions: Long security queues, tight connections, gates that are very far apart – we usually only really relax when we are finally on board and can lean back. But even then, there can still be some unpleasant surprises: A young woman has now captured with the camera how she was involuntarily captured in her aircraft with the other passengers.
Corona on the plane: “Unfortunately, that still takes …”
Only after waiting two hours at the terminal are the passengers even informed about the problem: Because the pilot had a positive corona test, everyone now has to wait and see what happens next. The waiting time is, however, much longer than expected – and what the airline offers the passengers as compensation afterwards is a real cheek. In the video you can see what the travelers had to endure.
