Flight EZY2141 was initially delayed at Manchester Airport for over four hours due to air traffic control restrictions caused by bad weather across Europe. The plane was forced to stop in Milan to refuel and replace crew members who were at risk of exceeding their legal working hours. Passengers arrived in Milan shortly after 2pm local time and faced further delays until 8.30pm while waiting for a replacement crew to take over. EasyJet apologised for the disruption and issued food vouchers, but frustrated holidaymakers strongly criticised the airline over poor communication and lost holiday time.
