Passengers in tears after being trapped on a baking plane in Nice for 90 minutes

Passengers were left in tears after being stuck on a hot plane in Nice for 90 minutes; the captain was obliged to allow them back on to the airbridge to cool down as several became unwell.

This evening at 7:35 p.m., a British Airways aircraft from Nice to Heathrow was scheduled to take off, but tired passengers were forced to wait an additional hour and a half in the warm cabin without air conditioning.

‘It’s disgraceful. It is hotter than hell on this plane. British Airways is slowly killing us,’ one angry passenger told MailOnline.

‘Passengers are crying and on the verge of passing out.’

‘It’s truly disgusting that they have no air conditioning. British Airways is literally a joke.’

The cabin crew and the pilot apologised to the passengers for the incident as two passengers became unwell and had to be taken off the plane.

The passenger said, “They’re now handing out water and telling everyone to go to the jetty.”

Since then, passengers have been told to exit and wait on the air bridge while they fan themselves to stay cool.

In order to learn the status of their flight, travellers are currently stranded in the tunnel. It is unclear why the plane was unable to take off at the scheduled time.
