150 Aegean passengers are living a nightmare since Friday morning. They were to fly to Greece, they are stuck at Brussels Airport.
A technical problem on the plane (Airbus A320-232 Registration SX-DVR) with destination the island of Rhodes is the cause of the delay. But after 30 hours of waiting, the situation becomes untenable, because little information is provided to passengers and the company is silent. The police even had to intervene to calm the situation.
The passengers were able to sleep in a hotel but the plane has not yet taken off on Saturday afternoon. A departure was scheduled for 16:00 but was again postponed.

If my information is correct (probably more than HLN which writes about hundreds of delayed pax!), the aircraft is Airbus A320-233 LY-VEO of Avion Express, to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria via Santa Cruz de la Palma.

Sleepless night for passengers of Royal Air Maroc: Two flights of the Royal Air Maroc were cancelled early Saturday afternoon at Brussels Airport. Passengers have complained about the lack of information. The flight to Tangier was finally able to leave on Sunday at 12:50, 24 hours late. The other one, to Nador, took off shortly before 13:00.
Passengers were given a food voucher of 13 euros. Those living close to the airport were sent home by taxi, the others could stay at a hotel nearby. But many chose to remain in the departure hall.
