‘I’ve got two kids, we’ve got nowhere to stay and they’re not putting us on another flight, they’re not giving us any compensation.

‘Cancelling flights is never our preference and we sincerely apologise to affected customers for the inconvenience this has caused to their travel plans,’ she said.

‘All affected passengers were offered a free of charge transfer to another flight, refund or travel credit.’
