Unbelievable: Budapest–Corfu Ryanair flight landed at a different location

Hungarian passengers were on the plane for six hours. Eventually, the plane landed at a different location than planned. People travelling with the Ryanair flight arrived in Greece nearly ten hours late. Ultimately, the plane flew to Corfu without them, while passengers had to take a bus or a ferry to the Greek island.

A series of awful events

One of the passengers shared their story with Blikk. The Hungarian family wanted to travel to Corfu from Budapest with Ryanair’s FR 8054 flight. The plane was supposed to depart at 9:35 AM, however, they were late. Passengers had to wait and sit for over two hours on the plane. The captain announced that there was no space in Corfu. Therefore, the Ryanair flight would not be able to land. The plane only took off at 11:30 AM.

The passenger who shared this story usually checks the GPS while flying. This time was no different, but the passenger was surprised to see that the plane had passed Corfu. The captain made an announcement again, saying they would not be able to land in Corfu, as the airport still did not have enough capacity.

Getting to Corfu

The plane eventually landed in another Greek city, Preveza, at 2:15 PM. After this eventful trip, passengers had to stay onboard for one more hour, as the airport lacked staff. At 3:30 PM, people finally managed to get off the plane and were led into the check-in terminal. This means that people spent about six hours on the plane, which was very hard for the children especially.
