Christmas nightmare: Wizz Air passengers left in Dortmund before Christmas

Due to a technical problem, passengers could only return to Budapest yesterday afternoon instead of Saturday the 23rd. Wizz Air has pointed out that due to the significantly increased traffic and often adverse weather conditions, delays are frequent and occasional cancellations may occur.

Passengers left in Dortmund before Christmas

A full flight of people were kept waiting by Wizz Air in Dortmund on 24 December due to a plane malfunction on Saturday, a reader of Index wrote in a letter to the news portal. The reader wrote that her husband was due to fly home on Saturday, but the incident left them sitting on the plane for about two hours. The airline subsequently said they would not be leaving on Saturday. The passengers managed to book accommodation for the night.

On Sunday morning they were promised a plane at 10 AM. However, shortly afterwards it turned out that there would be no plane. “We have little confidence that the promise of this afternoon will be fulfilled. No Wizz Air employee with them, no information, and saddest of all, they are constantly being let down, so everyone is waiting for promises while missing out on other alternative ways to get home,” Gabriella wrote to Index.
