Ryanair Passengers Stranded After Storm Isha Diverts Edinburgh Flight to Newcastle
A Ryanair flight from Copenhagen to Edinburgh was diverted to Newcastle due to high winds from Storm Isha. Passengers reported being left stranded over 100 miles from their intended destination with no assistance. Many travelers claimed they were told to arrange their own transport back to the Scottish capital. In response, Ryanair stated the diversion was beyond their control and that they provided customers with hotel accommodation or alternative transport. The incident has sparked anger among those affected, who dispute the airline's account of the support offered.
