British holidaymakers were among those affected by the incident yesterday afternoon (SUN) which was still believed to be having knock-on effects today (MON).

Disgruntled Ryanair passenger Carly Loveridge took to Twitter to complain: “Ryanair any idea when you are going to stop delaying our flight?

“Can’t find anyone to help us, we have been stuck in Ibiza airport overnight as we were told the flight would leave at 7.55am and now it’s 10.35.”

Karen Freakley complained late last night (SUN): “British Airways where are you in Ibiza airport?

“Flight delayed overnight. No information, no staff.”

British travel enthusiast Jamie Taylor described the situation in the aftermath of the accident as “chaos”, adding: “Runway has now reopened following an incident but departure lounge and security closed.

“Check-in hall heaving with people with nowhere to go.”

Another angry Brit described the situation following the accident as a “total s**t show”, adding: “Stuck in Ibiza airport.

“Absolutely zero info on what’s going on. No-one to ask about flight delay.”

British Airways flight BA479 were among flights affected, with passengers due to board complaining no-one from the airline had provided guidance.
