Passengers, who were scheduled to travel on Jetblue flight B6-1916 destined for New York which was set to depart Georgetown at 15:14h on Wednesday, are now stranded at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).
Passengers had to deplane the aircraft twice.
Initially, passengers started boarding at around 16:00h but were asked to deplane because the aircraft was reportedly too warm.
Later, around 18:55h they were instructed to reboard, only to be asked to disembark again due to crew fatigue.
No hotel accommodations were offered.
Travellers said they received vouchers of GYD2,400 for meals and were told they would need to return the following morning to collect another voucher for breakfast. Passengers were also required to retrieve their luggage, leaving many stranded at the airport overnight.
The airline has indicated that the flight may now depart tomorrow around 9:00h though this remains unconfirmed.
