Three VIM-Avia flights were delayed in Antalya

Passengers on three VIM-Avia flights spent more than 19 hours at Antalya airport, a passenger on the Antalya-Moscow flight told Vedomosti. According to him, all passengers on his flight were brought to the airport 2 hours before the expected departure, scheduled for 1.30 am on September 25. The airline's planes were standing on the runway. However, during the night and day, check-in for the flight did not open, VIM-Avia employees did not get in touch, and passengers, a significant part of whom were families with children, were not provided with either food or hotel accommodations. Passengers of another Moscow flight of VIM-Avia and a flight of the same company to St. Petersburg found themselves in the same situation. Only after 22.00 on September 25, when passengers staged an impromptu rally at the airport, a representative of the Anex Tour travel agency informed them that they would be taken to the hotel. The tourists were never given information about the time of departure to their homeland.
