without kosher food; "Exhausted and discouraged"A group of about fifty ultra-Orthodox are stuck at the Vienna airport for nearly 20 hours, without kosher food and baby products •
At 8:30 p.m. last night, their El Al flight was canceled due to a technical fault, after they had checked in.Exhausted and exhausted: a group of about fifty people from the ultra-orthodox sector, who had returned from a trip to Austria, intended to board an Israeli airline flight back to their home in Israel last night (Wednesday). However, from testimonies that reached 'JDN News' this afternoon, it appears that the passengers, approximately two hundred people, were surprised to find out at the airport that the flight was postponed. They have been stuck at the airport ever since.
The incident took place at the Vienna airport, where the hundreds of passengers who intended to board the 'El Al' flight at eight thirty in the evening (local time) arrived in the direction of the David Ben Gurion airport in Lod, Israel, where there are about fifty Israelis who belong to the ultra-orthodox sector. After all the passengers went through the check-in phase at the airport, the company informed them that the flight was postponed.
The passengers, among them small children and mothers with babies, had to stay at the airport since El Al informed them that there would be an alternative flight. However, nearly twenty hours have passed since then, during which the passengers are sitting in the airport hall in Vienna unable to move. Several passengers told the system that "we don't have kosher food, we don't have products that babies need like diapers, we are just exhausted and done".
This morning they still promised Al Ali that the replacement flight would take off around one o'clock in the afternoon, but the time has come and the plane is still on the ground. Another passenger told the network: "We are exhausted not only because we haven't eaten for almost an entire day, but also out of desperation. We sit here and don't know what will happen to us." El Al explained that it was a technical fault, and that they are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
