Ryanair Passengers Stranded Without Water on Crete Flight; Woman Faints

Passengers on a Ryanair flight bound for Crete were left stranded on board for an extended period, with no water provided during the delay. The situation worsened when a woman fainted, reportedly due to dehydration. The incident has drawn attention to passenger welfare standards on budget carriers operating Cretan routes. Travelers flying to Crete, particularly during summer months when temperatures are high and delays are more frequent, are advised to carry their own water in their hand luggage before boarding. EU Regulation 261/2004 entitles passengers to care and assistance, including refreshments, during significant delays. If you experience a similar situation, you can file a complaint with the airline and, if unresolved, escalate to your national civil aviation authority or the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA).
