Heathrow passengers stuck on planes for hours without food

Heathrow passengers stuck on planes for hours without food

Passengers at Heathrow were left stranded on grounded planes for several hours on Tuesday, with some reporting waits of more than six hours for water. One passenger, Emma Chun, said her flight to New York was cancelled after being stuck on the tarmac for over five hours. British Airways served starters on the plane because no steps were available to let people off.
