Ryanair left Hungarian families even with small kids at Valencia airport

The Hungarian Parliament Speaker called the floods that hit southern and eastern parts of Spain one of the most destructive natural disasters of recent years. The floods claimed an extremely high number of lives and affected even air traffic in the region. The death toll has already passed 100. According to Blikk, Ryanair left Hungarian families without help at the Valencia airport. A mother of three waited hours at the crowded terminals but they were denied boarding. 

Moreover, the Irish low-cost airline’s plane flew back to Hungary with their clothes and left them in Valencia for two more days without proper clothing.

Mariann Szabó told Blikk that the situation was disastrous in the Valencia region. On Wednesday, when their flight was due, the taxi queue was 4 kilometres long. That is because everybody was stuck at the airport. Passengers landing there could not get out, so many of the outgoing passengers could not get to the gates.

Ryanair plane leaves without Hungarian family

The Hungarian consulate in the city wanted to help but could not solve the situation.

She and her husband got to the airport in time with their three kids but only two bag drop desks operated. Their plane took off with a delay of only 1 hour and 15 minutes but only their luggage was on board.

Mariann does not understand why their plane left with their bags. She said that after they were past the hours-long check-in procedure, they rushed to the gates because there was no information about their departure.

Experts told Mariann that Ryanair probably broke air travel safety rules by transporting their luggage home but leaving them at the airport. She states there was no last call, and no one provided information.

The airport did not provide even a bottle of water
