Ryanair passengers miss flight due to ‘chaos’ at Toulouse airport

  • More than 100 passengers missed a Ryanair flight from Toulouse to London Stansted on 30 May.
  • The incident occurred at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport due to "pure chaos" and extensive queues at border control.
  • The long delays were attributed to staff shortages at border control, leading to significant disorganisation.

  • Ryanair confirmed the incident, stating passengers were not at the boarding gate when it closed, and compensation is unlikely for missed flights due to airport queues.
