Rebecca Berry, a twenty-two-year-old from Hampshire, is facing an unexpected delay in the Canary Islands. Her flight to Tenerife was scheduled for eighteen fifty local time yesterday but was cancelled after passengers experienced a six-hour wait on the runway. The cancellation came despite assurances that a power cut affecting Spain and Portugal would not disrupt her travel plans.

Rebecca reported that after boarding the plane, passengers were informed of a delay after waiting thirty minutes for an update. They received only a small packet of biscuits and a cup of water, as the ground crew failed to manage the flight’s time slot, leading to confusion and frustration among those onboard.

After three hours, passengers expressed their anger and hunger when food could not be provided. Reports emerged of infants without enough formula, which added to the growing distress. Eventually, after six hours, the flight was officially cancelled due to several factors including airspace closure and crew regulations.

At two thirty local time, Rebecca was finally given a hotel room, but she remained uncertain about when her flight would be rescheduled. She and her group are now waiting for updates and hoping for a resolution today, with a pick-up time set for eleven thirty at the airport.
