Ryanair Passengers Stuck on Plane Without Air Conditioning for Over an Hour

Passengers on Ryanair flight #FR7268 from Malta to Birmingham claimed they were left waiting for over an hour inside an aircraft with non-functioning air conditioning in temperatures of around 31°C following a technical delay. The flight, originally scheduled to depart at 17:40, was pushed back to 19:30, with passengers reportedly waiting for about 30 minutes in an apron bus without air conditioning before boarding.

According to passenger accounts, two travelers fainted due to the extreme heat, while several others suffered from nausea and vomiting. Ryanair stated that the flight was initially delayed due to a technical issue on the aircraft, with the delay subsequently extended after a passenger became unwell on board.
