Police called to Newcastle Airport today?

Heard something on Radio 4 tonight about police having to be called to calm down passengers of today’s apparently 8-hour delayed then cancelled FJE620 Sharm El Sheik flight – anyone got any info on what happened?

yes i heard about that it was on the Local Radio station and apparently on GMTV this morning also. Sounds like a bad situation for the passengers.

With a plane on the runway for 6 hours, its amazing it didnt shut down the airport!!
😀 :diablo:

I thought the BBC were usually above the red top useage of “runway” as a name for taxiways, runway and aprons!

Trust the BBC to hype it up a little

Well the passengers on the plane took some footage with there mobile phones and its pretty clear that she is parked up remote where she allways is at NCL.

Well its just been on the local news for both BBC1 and Tyne Tees. Sounds like a very bad situation.

Wonder how there going to recover from this. One aircraft operation at NCL im guessing its going to delay there flights for the next day or so.
