A mum says her two grieving children were traumatised by their experience travelling home from a holiday to Turkey
. Jet 2 has offered its “sincere apologies” to the family - who say they were treated 'like caged animals' during a 46 hour flight delay.
But thinking the break might help her two sons, the 40-year-old took them away for a week in the sun. However, she says the experience has left them 'traumatised'. Kelly, Mekhi and Kaian were put up in a hotel 40 minutes away from the airport, as a result. They returned to the airport the next day and boarded the plane only to be told it hadn't been fixed yet and they would have to wait for a further two hours. The family claim that, after four hours, they remained on the runway without food or water while people around them were collapsing and children were being sick.
“It was traumatising,” she said. “I’m so sad for everyone, but mainly my babies, as this was supposed to be a reliever from the worst time in their lives. “It made the worst times of our lives even worse. I’m an emotional wreck. It’s turned my plane-loving boy into a nervous wreck; I now have a battle on my hands trying to convince him to get on a plane so he can see his dad’s resting place and family in Uganda in January. We were treated like caged animals.”
