A Titan 737 flight arrived at Exeter 'en route' from Lourdes in France to Stansted, at the beginning of June.
80 got off at EXT the 50 old, disabled, sick, transiting passengers were then invited to disembark for a security check.
They all went through the magic arch, and then struggled back up the steps to the aircraft, there was no immigration or other check, they got all that at STN.
These were a part of a private group, all had travelled out together, they were coming back from our nearest neighbour country, France, but the dept. of Transport have decreed that French security is not strict enough, hence get them all off, and recheck them.
Now the organisers have been billed £750.00 just to pay for a security check !
Plus of course Titan have been billed for all the usual high rates at EXT.
Crazy or what
