Passengers barricaded themselves in a plane of a low-cost airline, which instead of Sofia Airport, landed in Varna without notifying them in advance.

The case is from Friday and it became clear after a video was posted on social networks. In it, a woman explains that after the flight from Abu Dhabi was postponed by 3 hours, it turned out that due to repairs at Sofia Airport, their plane was redirected to the sea capital.

The passengers would be transported from Varna to Sofia by buses. "Maybe the larger percentage of people won't be able to go to work or get their commitments done.

The airline not only refuses to cooperate, except with these buses, but they are the authorities of the "Border Police", which give us 10 minutes. Let's think about whether to voluntarily get off the plane or they will arrest us and handcuff us," the video reads.

Adv. Lidia Dimitrova and Toshko Petrov are among the passengers of the flight in question.

According to the woman, the information about the planned repair of Sofia Airport was given to the airlines in advance, which meant that they knew at the departure of the plane that it would land at another airport. Among the passengers were small children, as well as foreign citizens, Nova TV reported.

The airline claims that a flight from Varna to Sofia was planned, but due to unfavorable weather conditions it was not carried out. The Minister of Transport ordered an immediate inspection.
