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

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.”
