Stranded UK Airline Passengers Fly Home With Help From IRON MAIDEN!
Full Story at BBC.co.uk
"Passengers stranded when tour operator XL collapsed have started arriving back in the UK, after aviation authorities arranged planes for their collection. Thousands of passengers have been returning to UK airports on specially chartered flights and on scheduled flights with spare seats. XL's 21 planes were grounded on Friday, leaving some 90,000 people abroad. The airlines operating the returning flights include BA, Monarch and Astraeus, which flew in from destinations including Tenerife, Orlando and Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt. The lead singer of Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, who works as a pilot for the UK charter airline Astraeus, flew a plane back to the UK from Sharm El Sheikh. He said people had given up leave to get a crew together for the flight. The CAA said 12,000 people had so far been brought home on 52 relief flights to the UK.
