Scottish holidaymakers stranded after easyJet flight cancelled
Hundreds of holidaymakers claim they have been left stranded in Madeira after easyJet failed to replace a cancelled flight.
Its flight from Funchal to Edinburgh on Saturday was called off due to high winds.
But passengers claim they are now trapped for several days because the airline will not replace the service.
Patricia Cunningham, 66, said: "We have been told we can get a flight back to Bristol on Thursday, but that will leave us here for almost a week, and we would then have to get a bus back to Edinburgh.
"If we want to fly direct then we will have to wait until next Saturday to fly into Edinburgh."
An EasyJet spokeswoman said: "All passengers have been provided with hotel accommodation and meals, in line with EU261 regulations.
"The weather conditions have now improved and so easyJet will fly passengers back from Funchal as soon as possible."
