It's been a great week for LY with passengers stuck all over the place...

So a quick summary of the past week or so...


20/10: A 787 stuck in JFK due to some incident during loading meant the flight was cancelled and hundreds of passengers were stuck in NY for Chag.

25/10: 737 stuck in GVA after the inbound flight had to divert to Lyon due to the inexperienced pilot not being certified to land in the foggy condition which existed at GVA at the time.

Passengers on the return flight which was due to land in TLV on Friday afternoon, were stuck in Geneva for Shabbat.

27/10: A 777 stuck in BOS after the aircraft went tech. Passengers had already been on board for a number of hours before they were offloaded once the crew realised they wouldn't make it to TLV before Shabbat. Passengers were stuck in Boston until after Shabbat.
