Passengers Endure 90 Minutes Without Air Conditioning on Blue Bird Flight to Crete
Passengers on a Blue Bird flight from Israel to Crete experienced severe discomfort on Monday when their plane was delayed on the tarmac for over two hours without air conditioning amid peak August heat. The delay caused frustration and complaints, with some passengers calling the police to report the situation and others demanding the pilot address them directly. After more than an hour and a half without ventilation, a flight attendant finally opened the aircraft doors to provide relief. This incident marks a new low in the ongoing pattern of complaints against the Greek-Israeli airline Blue Bird, which has become a frequent subject of passenger grievances.
