Holidaymakers stranded in Mexico for 39 hours

Report by Lydia Wilson

JMC HOLIDAYMAKERS have arrived back in Britain nearly two days late after the aircraft scheduled to fly them out of Mexico suffered a catalogue of operational problems.

The aircraft designated to fly out to Cancun to take the holidaymakers home encountered problems at Gatwick, where hitches with its window heating system put it out of operation. JMC then chartered an aircraft from Boston, which flew stranded passengers back to Gatwick on Wednesday night (January 10), thirty-nine hours late.

JMC has offered each delayed passenger £70 as a goodwill gesture.
