TUI Passengers Suffer in Extreme Heat on Grounded Flight in Cape Verde
A TUI flight bound for Manchester from Cape Verde was grounded for hours on the tarmac, leaving passengers in extreme heat without air conditioning. Travelers, including children and a pregnant woman, reported suffering from the sweltering conditions, with some fainting. The crew reportedly provided limited water as the situation worsened inside the cabin. TUI has attributed the incident to a technical issue compounded by crew exceeding their legal operating hours. The airline has since issued an apology and is investigating the significant passenger welfare failure.
