easyJet passengers have alleged that an elderly British woman who was assisted onto a flight by her family was already dead before she got on the plane.
According to fellow travellers, the group managed to board the plane by assuring a staff member who questioned the woman's apparent ill health that she was 'merely tired'. One passenger even claimed to hear a member of the group reassure the staff member that they were "doctors".
After the family boarded the flight and settled the elderly woman, the plane began its taxi journey to the end of the runway. However, just moments before take-off, the plane abruptly stopped. Witnesses claim that alert members of the cabin crew had realised the woman was deceased.
According to easyJet, the elderly woman possessed a fit to fly certificate and was alive when she boarded the aircraft. However, passengers were convinced that something far more serious than fatigue was occurring.
Petra Boddington remarked: "What were easyJet ground staff thinking today? They asked the family five times if this woman was ok... she was clearly not ok!".
"To the naked eye she looked like she was already dead, slumped unconscious in a wheelchair, so why would she be allowed on to the flight and then disrupt everyone's plans... purely to save the family repatriation? ! ? If I was drunk they wouldn't let me on... but apparently dead is ok? ! EasyJet what's going on?".
