Federal police were on hand to protect Tiger Airways staff when they told a planeload of Melbourne-bound passengers they would be stranded in Hobart for three days.Disgruntled passenger Mike Waters said the 9.15pm flight to Melbourne from Hobart was cancelled on Friday night when a flight attendant became ill.
He said passengers were initially told the flight would still be departing but after a two-hour wait were then told to go to the Tiger Airways ticketing desk where about five police officers appeared to be standing guard.
Some passengers were then informed they would not be able to fly home until today and were taken to stay in a hotel about 20 kilometres from Hobart.
