A hundred passengers had to wait 52 hours before being able to leave from Tel Aviv, Israel, to Paris, in disastrous conditions.

Exasperated passengers, hours of waiting spent in the waiting hall of Tel-Aviv airport (Israel), infants and the elderly sleeping on the floor without receiving water or food. Thursday August 25, 2022, around a hundred passengers boarded a flight to Paris which turned into a nightmare. Two people, registered on another company’s flight, boarded with them, before leaving in a hurry before takeoff.

The passengers then fear that a parcel bomb has been deposited, and some leave the aircraft. The police are forced to intervene. An hour and a half later, an announcement is made in the plane: the quota of hours of the pilots is exceeded. Passengers are disembarked and left to fend for themselves. The aircraft finally took off 52 hours late. Passengers demand redress and explanations.
