Passengers furious over ‘wait in the rain’

AIRPORT authorities were under fire last night from a furious group of disabled and elderly passengers.

The group, who landed at Cork Airport yesterday after a week-long pilgrimage to Lourdes, had to walk across a rain-soaked apron because there were no wheelchairs or busses available to take them to the terminal building.

The pilgrimage flight with an estimated 170 people on board landed at 11.10am yesterday.
