Passengers slept overnight on the FLOOR in an airport after a Ryanair flight from Manchester was forced to make a sudden diversion.

The flight on May 12, destined for Faro, had to suddenly land in Nantes, France after a member of crew on board became unwell.

However after landing, passengers were told the flight could not continue to their final destination until the following day, something that Ryanair says was due to a 'strict curfew' at Nantes.

It was at this point that Joanne claimed there was some confusion with staff about passengers being offered overnight accommodation, before they were later told there was 'limited availability' in hotels.
