Belarusians waited for their flight from Minsk to Antalya since early morning. All due to a broken plane that couldn't be repaired.
Details of this story were collected by a Threads user with the nickname kachan_marina. According to her, on the night of May 8, at 2:20 AM, a plane was supposed to depart from Minsk to Antalya, but it broke down. One of the passengers caused a scandal, and that group was given the plane that was supposed to depart for Antalya at 8:45 AM.
Meanwhile, people who were supposed to fly to Antalya in the morning remained at Minsk airport the whole time:
"Our group (about 200 people, children, elderly, and adults) has been waiting for their flight for 10 hours. The company provided hot lunches, sandwiches, and water.

But all this time, they are trying to repair the plane's engine right outside the windows and are promising us a departure at 7:00 PM."
According to the woman, if the plane is not repaired by this time, people will be sent to a hotel, while the next group of people will depart according to schedule — at 2:20 AM.
Other passengers of that unfortunate flight also came to Threads. Here's what a woman with the nickname chernyaalina writes:
"Company representatives say nothing, other flights are departing. Trash cans are full, I won't even mention the toilets. Hot food for children only due to outrage.
No one is to blame for anything! Just 200 people are sitting and waiting for who knows what!'"
