“Poor weather conditions due to a thunderstorm front”: Plane lands in Copenhagen instead of Berlin
Easyjet flight U25122 was en route from Palma de Mallorca to Berlin and was scheduled to land there at 10:30 p.m. However, the machine never got there. Instead of landing in Berlin with a delay, the flight was quickly diverted to Copenhagen in Denmark. After midnight, the machine finally landed around 360 kilometers (as the crow flies) from Berlin.
“Due to poor weather conditions caused by a storm front that swept across large parts of Germany last night, some Easyjet flights have been diverted to other destinations,” an Easyjet spokesman said IPPEN.MEDIA. “The weather conditions, especially at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport, also led to temporary suspensions of ground handling services during the evening, which also affected flight operations.”
Passengers stranded in Copenhagen
According to the airline, Easyjet offered holidaymakers in Mallorca hotel accommodation or alternative flights to their destination. “Easyjet has done everything it can to help passengers.” However: “When no suitable alternative could be found, the airline has asked passengers to make their own way to their destination and keep a receipt for their expenses to use at a later date.” time to apply for a refund.” (jsch)
