The situation occurred on 11 March on a flight bound for Marrakech. The flight was scheduled to depart at 12:15 pm, but took off at 12:57 pm. The delayed passengers, who had already completed check-in, reached the boarding gate, but the flight had already left the airport.
The passengers, according to EuroWeeklyNews, arrived at the airport 2 hours before the flight but were delayed by security and border control. Therefore, the passengers could not reach the boarding gate on time
Ryanair stated that the delays were caused by issues at border control, not by the airline. In these cases, when passengers miss a flight, and the luggage has already been dispatched, their belongings are returned to them.










What is the editor's obsession with Ryanair about? The headline should be about Tours airport failing, not about Ryanair trying to maintain its timetable. Not passengers fault, and not Ryanair's fault. Why should the passengers at Marrakech be delayed because of Tours airport, or the passengers on the rest of that day's flights on that aircraft?
Every week there are at least 1 or 2 moans about Ryanair. Is there nothing of interest happening in Portugal?
