MIAMI – American Airlines is apologizing for the inconvenience as dozens of passengers were left stranded and frustrated at Miami International Airport in the aftermath of Debby.
“I missed my chemo appointment on Monday and now I have one on Wednesday and now I’m going to miss it again,” said Amrita Secharan, a cancer patient and [assenger stranded at MIA since Sunday.
She and her family, a group of 37, got off a cruise on Sunday and arrived at the airport only to find her flight had been canceled due to weather.
Secharan told CBS News Miami they received a voucher for a hotel on Sunday and came back to the airport on Monday only to find the flight had been canceled once again.
She claims American Airlines is not giving them any explanations. “Now, they’re putting us on standby, I told them I need to get home to get chemo, it affects me,” said Secharan.
Monitors at MIA are showing less canceled flights but several adults and children have been waiting for days – some sitting on the floor – for the next flight home.
