Passengers stranded in Lanzarote after Ryanair crew member falls ill

Passengers have hit out at Ryanair after claiming they only received notification that their return flight to Cork from Lanzarote had been cancelled hours before take-off.

The 7.25am service from the Canary Island back to Cork was cancelled after a member of the aircrew fell ill. Some passengers said they were only informed at 3am while others said they were waiting in the departures queue at the airport before they received the notification via text and email.
