Delay was snow joke for city holidaymakers
About 150 passengers were due to return home on board the Thomson 1257 flight from Tenerife to Edinburgh on Tuesday afternoon. But the inbound flight, which was scheduled to come from the Norfolk city’s airport, was unable to take off because the runway was icy. Retired David Nivison and partner Roberta Whyte, both 70, of Musselburgh said: “I’d spoken to friends in Edinburgh so I knew there was no bother with snow there but there was no communication this end. We were gobsmacked when we eventually found out it was because the flight was coming from Norwich.”
A Thomson spokeswoman said: “Unfortunately as a result of adverse weather conditions the airport closed.”
