A passenger plane had to be partially dismantled before
holiday makers could fly home from Spain… because of a lost mobile. Bosses insisted that the phone - which had been accidentally
dropped into an air vent - was found before the Jet2 flight from Murcia to Newcastle
was allowed to take off.
It took three hours for the phone to be discovered and this
was only after part of the cockpit area and front row of seats had been taken
apart. Staff say it was feared the phone could have interfered with
computer systems on the plane - because it had been turned on by an exiting
passenger just before they dropped it.
It is not known who the mystery phone-dropper was, but you
can be sure they won't be rushing to check their text messages next time they
fly. A spokesman for Jet2.com said whilst it was no doubt
inconvenient for passengers, the airline wanted to make sure the phone was
found and removed to ensure maximum safety.
