Just imagine being on this plane...
A late-night flight from Stansted to Belfast was delayed by two hours because cabin crew on board were unable to count the number of passengers on board.
According to the Belfast Telegraph, airline staff checked boarding passes three times before take-off.
It’s then claimed that crew read out names of passengers to try to confirm who was onboard.
A passenger told the paper: “It looked as though there were two people on the flight who couldn’t be accounted for.
“The flight attendants kept telling us that legally they couldn’t take off until they had the correct number of passengers.
“They came around and checked everyone’s details three times. At one point 10 airport staff were in and out of the plane trying to verify passenger details.”
In a statement to The Independent, the no-frills airline said: “This flight from London Stansted to Belfast (26 May) was regrettably delayed ahead of take-off due to a minor technical issue, before departing to Belfast later that evening.
“Ryanair sincerely apologised to customers for the delay.”
