Passengers travelling on Jetblue flight B6-1916 destained for New York and which was scheduled to depart Georgetown at 15: 14h on Wednesday are now stranded at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA).
Passengers had to deplane the aircraft twice. 
Passengers initially boarded around 15:15h but were asked to deplane because the aircraft was reportedly too warm. Later, around 16:00h they were instructed to reboard, only to be asked to disembark again due to alleged mechanical issues and crew fatigue.
One passenger who reached out to this publication, said that no hotel accommodations were offered.
The traveler said that Travelers said passengers received vouchers of $2,400 for meals and were told they would need to return this morning to collect another voucher for breakfast. Passengers were also required to retrieve their luggage, leaving many stranded at the airline counter area overnight.
The airline has indicated that the flight may now depart today around 09:00h though this remains unconfirmed.
