After about 30 minutes, however, the situation was not classified as safe enough, and the plane returned to Mauritius. A wobble contact with a built-in lamp had caused the difficulties, as the Aua spokeswoman Yvonne Wachholder explained. The return led to chaos at the airport, as the stranded passengers were informed late about their hotel accommodation late. One of the holidaymakers, Mario S., described his adventurous journey to the hotel, which was associated with defective doors and a lack of safety precautions in the coach.
