Overview
- The flight scheduled for June 10 was delayed after the aircraft arrived late, passengers were held at the gate for hours, and the plane was later towed away before the cancellation was confirmed.
- More than 200 travellers remain in temporary accommodation in Marrakesh with one passenger estimating about 235 people were affected.
- Passengers reported an almost ten-hour wait for clear information and said airport staff were scarce, leaving many frustrated and confused about the next steps.
- easyJet says it has rescheduled the service for the next day, apologised, and is providing hotel rooms and meals to those who require them.
- The airline blamed the move on a technical fault and the impact on crew safety-regulated hours, which are legal limits on how long crew can work before rest is required and can force rescheduling to protect safety.
