These brochures left it sweating all the way up until it even started.
Hot passengers were captured on camera stripping off sweat-soaked clothing while stranded on a Qatar Airways aircraft for more than three hours without air heating before being just flown back into the aircraft.
Among those awaiting flight on the packed aircraft awaiting flight Monday from Athens, Greece, were almost 50 fighters who had attended the IFMA World Muaythai Championships.
People were reportedly dehydrating and evaporating on the plane, according to customer Garth Collins, who spoke to news organization Jam Press.
Collins, a North American sports doctor, was among those who shared videos of the dread near- journey, while accusing the flight of handling the situation “terribly”.
As people look on, fanning themselves with the airport safety boxes as they pass through the aisles, one tourist can be seen stripping off his shirt and clinging his bare stomach with beads of perspiration as he passes through his bare chest.
Before being allowed to depart and return to Athens International Airport, the passengers were “left stranded on the aircraft for 3.5 days with doors closed and no air conditioning.”
The condition, but, did not improve yet once they were inside the great, atmosphere- conditioned airport, Collins said.
He complained that they were suddenly given permission to leave the aircraft and are now waiting in a queue without receiving any information from the airline about the situation.
” People have connected flights that will not be made out of Doha.”
There was only one man present at the Qatar Airways check-in office, according to Collins, who could assist the irate customers.
After the terrible ordeal, Collins criticized the aircraft for only offering passengers a cup of water and a little soft drink, calling it” entirely inadequate to refresh an individual after the enforced sauna on the plane.”
He even captured a picture of Muay Thai champion Damian Collins, who was en route to Greece to compete in the IFMA World Championship in a sweaty suit.
” Damian is a match, conditioned athlete, visualize the stress and risk for any ordinary individual”, Collins said.
Boxer Thannachai Sidsongpeenong described the entire ordeal as” shocking” but expressed gratitude that he was alright afterwards.
” Then I feel that I was happy to get through that circumstance”, he said.
The prolonged journey arrived in Doha around 10: 30 a. m. nearby day Tuesday after it was scheduled to get at 6: 20 p. m. the previous day.
Qatar Airways has reached out for post, according to The Post.
