Bridgnorth man with cancer misses flight and cancels holiday after waiting hours in airport chaos
A man from Bridgnorth suffering from cancer was forced to queue for nearly three hours at Birmingham Airport in security check chaos and had to abandon his holiday altogether.
Robert James, 83, and his wife Diana, 77, were flying to Murcia in Spain with Ryanair on Monday afternoon.
The couple arrived at the airport three hours before their flight was due to leave but spent more than two and a half hours in security with hundreds of other passengers, causing them to miss their flight.
The airport has come under fire in recent weeks due to building work that has led to large queues and a number of reports of missed flights.
