Passengers due to fly into Norwich are STILL stranded abroad following a delay of almost 24 hours.

A Tui flight from Heraklion, Greece, to Norwich Airport has been delayed once again leaving distraught holidaymakers stuck.

The flight was delayed for the third time this afternoon and is now set to touch down at 9.55pm today - almost 24 hours later than originally planned.

The news comes after the status of the flight was first thrust into uncertainty last night after it failed to take off as scheduled at 8.30pm.

The flight was originally due to arrive back in Norfolk at 10.25pm on Tuesday but was pushed back to arrive by 6.40pm and then 9.55pm today.

The cancellations come after travellers were faced with separate delays of multiple hours on another Tui flight from Norwich Airport to Athens yesterday afternoon.

The flight was meant to take off at 1.40pm but departed with a replacement plane at 5.34pm before being diverted to Dubrovnik in Croatia.

Tui was contacted for comment.
