Passengers stranded in airline row
Hundreds of air passengers remain stranded at an airport in a dispute over non-payment of charges that has put the future of a low-fare airline in doubt.
The passengers should have left Glasgow on a Zoom Airlines flight to the Canadian cities of Halifax and Ottawa. But BAA Glasgow detained the Boeing 757 on instructions from the UK's Civil Aviation Authority.
BAA Glasgow said the matter concerned the non-payment of charges to European air traffic control company Eurocontrol and to the UK's air traffic control company Nats. BAA said it had also imposed a detention order in respect of charges owed to BAA Glasgow but this order had now been lifted.
