Holiday misery for NI passengers

XL advert

More than 100 holiday-makers from Northern Ireland are hoping to get home later after facing an extra delay on their way back from Rhodes in Greece.

The passengers were supposed to be flying with the now defunct XL company.

Another carrier was lined up to bring them back on Wednesday, but the plane was unable to fly.

"People are getting upset, there are elderly people here, they're exhausted, and we haven't been offered any help at all," said passenger Hilary Hunter.
