Passengers on a Ryanair flight delayed on its way to Manchester report extreme heat on board and say they were required to buy water while they waited for departure. According to footage cited by the Manchester Evening News and reporting by the Daily Record, the flight was scheduled to depart Barcelona Airport at 4:50pm local time on Monday, but passengers were only allowed to board around 6pm. Both outlets describe a delay of roughly two hours before take-off. During the wait, passengers are seen fanning themselves. The Daily Record reports that temperatures inside the aircraft allegedly rose above 40C. The Manchester Evening News says passengers were “forced to buy water” during the delay, while the Daily Record similarly focuses on passengers having to purchase water rather than receiving it freely. The reports describe the conditions during the ground wait and the timing of boarding relative to the scheduled departure, but do not include additional information from Ryanair in the provided excerpts.
