Four teachers and 57 students were stranded in the United Kingdom after a flight was cancelled. The teachers and minors slept on the floor of Gatwick Airport while trying to return to Brazil.
A teacher stated that they received absolutely no support during the period they were at the airport. The situation left the groups without adequate assistance for such a prolonged stay in an airport environment.
The group, made up of Brazilian teachers and students, faced logistical difficulties after the cancellation of the flight that would take them back to the country. The lack of support from the airline companies or competent authorities worsened the situation of those stranded.
The case highlights problems faced by Brazilian travelers who are unable to return after international flight cancellations, especially when involving groups of minors unaccompanied by family members.
