Shenzhen Airlines ZH9279, which departed from Nanjing and stopped from Fuzhou to Zhuhai, continued to experience delays and cancelation yesterday, causing dissatisfaction among more than 100 stranded passengers.
At about 9 o’clock last night, many citizens called this newspaper 95060 to reflect that ZH9279 was supposed to fly to Fuzhou from Nanjing at 04:55 P.M. and take off to Zhuhai, but passengers waited until around 5 o’clock, there is still no trace of the plane. “Shenzhen Airlines informed the airport to arrange a car and said it would take us to the hotel for a rest.”
Ms Zhang, the passenger, said that all the passengers in Fuzhou had completed the security check and waited for the flight, but they were forced to obey the arrangement of the airline.
“I thought it was the airport hotel opposite the airport, but I didn’t expect the car to drive for 40 minutes, pulling us to the countryside.” Ms. Zhang said that the passengers had not seen the hotel yet and received a notice from Shenzhen airlines that the plane had taken off from Nanjing and could wait, “that’s it, we bumped in the car for more than an hour.”
When I returned to the airport, it was about 06:30 in the evening, and Ms. Zhang and other passengers continued to wait for the second security check. One hour later, the plane finally arrived, and passengers departing from Nanjing also got off the plane one after another and boarded the plane again.
Ms. Zhang said that when Fuzhou passengers were ready to board the plane, Nanjing passengers were all “driven down” again. “Shenzhen Airlines staff told us directly that the flight was canceled!” Ms. Zhang said that Fuzhou passengers had been waiting for hours, and passengers from Nanjing suddenly fell into the situation of being stranded in a foreign land, “there are about 200 passengers, surrounded by staff to say, the scene was once chaotic.”
Yesterday, the reporter called Shenzhen Airlines. The relevant person in charge said that ZH9279 was indeed temporarily canceled yesterday. “The weather conditions at Zhuhai Airport are not suitable for the plane landing”. The reporter confirmed from Zhuhai Airport that several local flights had been canceled due to a foggy day, including ZH9279.
At 10 o’clock last night, the reporter learned from the relevant person in charge of Fuzhou Changle Airport that all the passengers stranded in Fuzhou had been arranged to stay in the hotel. As for when the plane can take off again, it is still uncertain. (Reporter Li Yi)
