A passenger who was on the flight shared on her Twitter account a video of the passengers waiting at the Lajes International Airport and assured that the airline has not given them any news about what happened during the trip so far.
“Update: we are still stranded and this is news of nothing. As far as we know, Avianca did not communicate with our emergency contacts and when they call they do not give them an alternative or solution. There are elderly people, mothers with children and even people with special needs. No water they have given us,” wrote Shirley Maldonado.
