Australian passengers have been caught up in a flight nightmare after they were boarded on a plane they say was “billowing smoke” just hours earlier. Qatar Airways flight QR-204 was scheduled to leave Athens in Greece at 2pm on Monday and was bound for Doha in Qatar, with many on the flight planning to travel on to Melbourne. But the flight never left the tarmac and passengers, including 7NEWS employee Jodie Grocock, labelled the entire ordeal as “appalling”.
It was ridiculous,” she said. “People were complaining. Like one man was saying: ‘We’re going to die. Get us off this plane’. “I asked for water and they said they had run out.” After about four hours on board, the passengers were eventually let off and then spent another four hours in the terminal trying to get hotels. They were then told they had been rebooked on a 6am flight the following day, but many passengers said they were afraid to get on another Qatar Airways flight.
