PASSENGERS slept overnight on the FLOOR in an airport after a Ryanair flight from Manchester was forced to make a sudden diversion

The flight on May 12, destined for Faro in Portugal, had to suddenly land in Nantes, France, after a member of crew on board became unwell.

However, after landing, passengers were told the flight could not continue to their final destination until the following day, something that Ryanair says was due to a ‘strict curfew’ at Nantes.

Passenger Joanne Wharton told the M.E.N.: “We remained on the runway in Nantes for approximately two hours with no access to water. I was informed by flight crew that there was no suitable drinking water available. At approximately midnight, the captain announced very clearly that we needed to leave the plane, go into Nantes airport and a member of staff would be there to take us to our hotel for the evening.
