'Travelling to Rhodes for a holiday is a terrible idea...this flight is being operated on an emergency basis'
37 British holidaymakers were on board at the time.Passengers heading for the burning Greek island of Rhodes were left in tears after an EasyJet pilot urged them to get off, telling them their holiday as a "terrible idea".
There were 37 British holidaymakers on board, who were told by the captain that it was a "bad idea" to carry on with their journey."As far as I'm concerned, this flight is being operated on an emergency basis. Eight passengers, including a crying young boy, then got off the plane, according to a BBC journalist on the plane.
But as temperatures are predicted to rise as high as 45C in parts of Greece, some 30,000 Brits have been left in the lurch due to the flight cancellations, leaving them in limbo over their travel plans.
