Wizz Air plane could not land, two hundred stranded on Madeira

As we reported yesterday, the Wizz Air plane from Budapest to Funchal (Madeira) failed to land due to strong winds despite repeated attempts. Instead, the plane landed in Tenerife. Wizz Air informed passengers of the Funchal-Budapest flight that they would be returned home on the morning of 5 April – however, this is not what happened.

We wrote yesterday that the Budapest-Funchal flight was unable to land at the local airport after several attempts due to strong winds in Madeira. The passengers were then taken to Tenerife instead.

“The passengers were flown by Wizz Air to Tenerife, where the aircraft landed safely. The passengers will be provided with accommodation and board tonight and will be flown to Funchal tomorrow morning. Passengers on the Funchal-Budapest flight will therefore only be able to fly home on the morning of 5 April,” Wizz Air wrote to Index on 4 April.

According to reports from Telex readers, on Tuesday evening, the airline organised accommodation and transfers for passengers stranded on the island. At dawn on Wednesday, 5 April, the passengers concerned were taken back to the airport. There, they were told that the plane that had landed in Tenerife on Tuesday would be coming to pick them up, but its departure was delayed. Finally, on Wednesday afternoon, passengers were informed by text message that the flight had been cancelled and the plane that landed in Tenerife on Tuesday was on its way back to Budapest.

Passengers have also been informed by email of their rights to rebook on another flight or claim their money back. Apart from this, no further information has been provided. For those stranded on Madeira, things are not easy, Telex recalls: the next scheduled flight to the island is on Saturday 8 April. In the meantime, many airlines are continuing to cancel flights to Madeira due to high winds. Only one or two planes landed on Wednesday afternoon, leaving no alternatives for connecting flights.
