英航38名乘客滞留孟买机场

　　Nearly 40 British Airways passengers are said to be facing an eight day wait for their next flight home after being stranded in Mumbai airport because they missed a connecting flight. 

　　The holiday makers - including young children and those with special needs - had flown from Goa to Mumbai after a two-week holiday, where they were due to catch a BA flight to London Heathrow。

　　But when the internal Air Indiaflight was delayed, the 38 passengers missed their all-important connection。

　　Sean Read, the keyboard playerfor the Manic Street Preachers and Chrissie Hynde, said 'mad scenes' had erupted at the Indian airport 

　　They have now allegedly been told by BA staff that they could face an eight-day wait for their next flight home -because all the flights back to the UK are fully booked. 

　　One of those stranded at the airport is Sean Read, the keyboard player for the Manic Street Preachers, the Rocking birds and Chrissie Hynde。

　　He tweeted that there had been a'massive shouting match' between BA and Air India staff over who was to blame for the hiccup. Another passenger tweeted that none of the staff had been seen since。

　　Mr Read then posted a photo of members of his group curled up on the airport floor among their luggage, before writing 'no hotel no food no flight'。

　　The musician added that Turkish Airlines had offered the passengers seven spaces on one of its flights - but that BA staff had not been around to approve it.   

　　Sandi Dunn, from Hackney, London,whose daughter Lisa is stranded at the airport, told MailOnline: 'BA staff were literally shouting at Air India staff over what had happened。

　　'Now everyone has left them there after telling them they might be stuck there for eight days because all the flights are overbooked。

　　He added that Turkish Airlines had offered seven seats to the stranded passengers but that no one from BA was there to accept them 

　　One passenger said they were'desperate for help and sanity' after BA staff went home and left them stranded

　　Another said they were 'starving cold and have been sleeping on floors' 

　　'They had been on a two-week holiday and just missed the connection, through no fault of their own. BA wouldn't hold the flight and now can't get them home. I just cannot get over that BA would leave them there like that - it is a first world airline.'

　　Ms Dunn says her daughter, adirector-producer for the BBC, is due to be at work tomorrow but has no way of knowing when she will be at home。

　　She added that several of the group - made up of six adults and six children - could not contact their insurance companies until Monday morning, due to the time difference。

　　BA were not available forcomment.
