A woman has described her horror after she woke up alone in the dark on a locked plane after falling asleep on a short-haul flight.

Tiffani Adams said she went through the “terrifying” ordeal on an Air Canada flight from Quebec to Toronto earlier this month.

Ms Adams said she managed to call a friend but her phone then ran out of battery. She was unable to re-charge it because the plane had no power, she added.

While clambering around in the dark trying to figure a way out, Ms Adams said she found a flashlight in the cockpit before finding the plane’s main door.

She opened the door but could not exit the plane because of the “40-50ft drop” to the pavement below, she said.

Finally, the driver of a luggage cart spotted her.

She said since the ordeal she has suffered from “recurring night terrors”.

A spokesman for Air Canada has confirmed Ms Adams’ story and said they were in contact with her.
