The 300 or so passengers on a flight bound for Mauritius from La Réunion; Thursday, will remember their trip for a long time. A series of incidents caused a 12-hour delay and panic on board while the plane was still on the ground at Roland-Garros airport in Saint-Denis (Réunion). It all started with an announcement at registration, says Réunion La 1re.

After being seated on a first plane, travelers had to disembark before boarding another device. It was actually a Qatar Airways plane chartered by the Mauritian airline for the occasion.
