Heavy fog caused the delay to the flight from Cyprus to London Gatwick
When an easyJet pilot jokingly made an offer to his younger passengers during a delayed flight, much to his surprise, they took him up on it.
A group of mostly students and their parents were flying from Cyprus to London’s Gatwick Airport on Sunday but heavy fog delayed their flight for 20 hours.
Captain Wayne Mott joking said over the loud speaker that he’d write a note for school explaining the absence and was shocked when he got a request for 32 notes, including one from a teacher.

Eight-year-old Joshua Skuse, 8, a student at Herne Junior School in Petersfield, Hampshire in the UK, showed his letter to his teacher, the Petersfield Post reported.
It read: “Dear Mrs Lee, I am very sorry that Joshua was not at school today.
“He has been involved in a secret mission in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea at very short notice.
“We hope that this mission will soon be complete and that he will see you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Tuesday morning.”
Skuse’s teacher was so impressed she asked Mott to be a guest speaker at the school to talk about what it’s like to be a pilot.
