Flight FZ 339 of iFly Airlines was supposed to take off from Chita to Sochi at 16:40 local time (10:40 Moscow time), but will depart at best at 3 a.m. The problem arose with the airline’s airbus, which was supposed to deliver passengers to the trans-Baikal city from St. Petersburg (flight FZ 338). However, he is 10 hours late – the flight from Pulkovo was postponed from 01:25 to 12:00 local time.
Passengers had to spend the night at the airport. “We are sitting in the transit zone, like in a monkey house… We cannot receive any clear comments from representatives of the airline. They say the flight is scheduled for 12 o’clock, there are technical problems with the board, there is no other board. Everyone is outraged. Those with children were offered to stay in the mother and child’s room,” eyewitnesses told the publication “Чита.Ru “.
In turn, passengers waiting for departure at Chita airport are outraged that they were not warned about the delay – there was no SMS notification, so most arrived at check-in 2 hours before departure. Now it turned out that it would take 10 hours to wait for the flight.
Officially, the airline does not comment on flight delays. A version is spreading among passengers that the problem is related to the missing part of the aircraft – it is expected from another city. Editorial Board TourDom.ru I sent a request to the carrier’s press service asking for comment on the situation.
On Thursday, we wrote that due to the breakdown of the plane, tourists flew from Antalya to Chelyabinsk only on the second attempt. Ural Airlines had to send another plane for the passengers.
