SINGAPORE - Mr John Paul Ambon has visited Singapore 13 times, but was met with a flight delay for the first time on Sunday when he wanted to return home to the Philippines.
He said passengers ended up mostly resting in lounges and chairs in the departure area. Some had been quite shocked when the delay was first announced at about 1.45pm. Ms Reterba, who is here on holiday with her family of four, intends to wait in the airport until her rescheduled flight on Tuesday in the hope of getting an earlier flight.
“They mentioned organising some food for us. I think SQ is trying its best, given the circumstances. I am actually glad to be on SQ and not other airlines,” said Mr Lawrence. He said the pilot announced that the plane could not pass through Philippine airspace. The pilot had tried to reroute through Taipei or Hong Kong, but was not allowed to as both air hubs were already overcrowded.Jon said he was also given a 1,000 yen coupon for food, so he bought himself an extra snack from an airport shop.
