More than 150 people were stuck at Sofia airport for 12 hours. The reason was a long delay to a flight to Barcelona. The airline explained to the passengers that weather problems forced the plane to wait for hours to depart from Jordan.

Since then, the departure time has changed several times, leaving dozens of worried people in front of the information boards.

The flight eventually took off shortly before 18.00. Many of the passengers said they would seek compensations.
