A journey that was expected to last over two hours was cut short after just 45 minutes due to a pilot strike at Air Corsica, according to a passenger's account. Flights originally scheduled for 2:40 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. were disrupted, and passengers received an SMS message informing them of a bus transfer to Marseille Airport with an appointment at noon. The passenger noted that no explanations were provided for this sudden change.
On the bus, passengers reported high temperatures, especially at the back. A loud boom was followed by smoke in the cabin, causing panic among those on board. The cause of the incident remains undetermined. Photographs and video images show the bus stopped at the edge of a highway, with passengers waiting behind a safety barrier, some sitting with their luggage nearby. The witness mentioned the presence of children and noted that most passengers had not eaten and had nothing to drink.
The passenger criticized the lack of information provided by Air Corsica, recalling a response from the company: "Talk to the driver!" He also mentioned the case of a 17-year-old minor who was left to herself throughout the episode. The incident was still ongoing this Friday around 7:30 p.m. in Marseille. Despite the difficult conditions, the passenger and his fellow travelers, now friends in misfortune, reached their destination without problems.
The company ultimately apologized and offered a snack to everyone, though this gesture did not fully ease the frustration of all passengers due to the complete absence of communication and information. Despite these conditions, the passenger assured that all affected passengers support the pilots' strike.
