What was supposed to be a smooth journey turned into a nightmare for dozens of Ryanair passengers in Morocco after they were left stuck on an overcrowded airport bus for 30 minutes in sweltering heat. The shocking scene, caught on video, shows frustrated travelers packed shoulder-to-shoulder with little ventilation, sparking anger both inside the bus and online.
Passengers reported that the bus was meant to transport them from the terminal to their aircraft. Instead, it sat motionless on the tarmac for half an hour with no explanation from airport staff. With the bus filling up beyond capacity, people could be seen sweating, fanning themselves, and even shouting at officials through the windows.
“It felt like we were trapped. There was no air, no information, nothing,” one passenger said. Another described the ordeal as “dangerous and humiliating,” pointing out that elderly passengers and children were also on board.
Social media erupted when footage of the incident surfaced. Outraged viewers compared the bus to a “sauna on wheels,” with one user commenting, “How is this acceptable in 2025? Absolute disgrace.” Others demanded accountability from both Ryanair and Moroccan airport authorities, questioning why passengers were left stranded without updates.
Aviation experts noted that while delays and logistical issues are common, trapping passengers in such conditions is unacceptable. “This raises serious safety and health concerns,” one analyst explained. “Even short delays can escalate quickly in closed, overcrowded environments.”
The incident has intensified long-standing criticism of low-cost airlines and their handling of passengers. Many argue that budget carriers like Ryanair prioritize cost-cutting over customer comfort and communication.
For those on the bus, the experience was more than just an inconvenience—it was a frightening reminder of how easily passenger safety can be overlooked in the chaos of modern air travel.
