I feel for those passengers… i’m currently planning for a trip and a delay like this could ruin it!
Make sure they have good tires on. :)
When they have to circle for a few hours and the gear is already up, why not just head for Paris? If theere are no other issues, what could happen because of a flat tire?
I’ve often thought the same thing Shawn….:)
