Hundreds of travellers were stranded at the airport in Thailand after all the flights to Europe were cancelled due to escalating tension between Pakistan and India.

Footage captured today (February 27) shows a crowd of travellers stuck in Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.

Speaking in the video, Swedish holidaymaker Dan Eastgrain, said: ''I heard there was a problem but I didn't think it would be like this. It's chaos.’’

Frustrated backpacker Nicolle Paisley, who was on the flight which turned back earlier today, said she was stuck in limbo between arrivals and immigration.

She said: ''We've been back for hours now, no food or water. No information on our rescheduled flight. Not good enough at all.

''The staff aren't doing much to help. I'm already at the airport. They've told us to stay in line. They can't help as they don't have the answers either. We just want to know when our flight is.''

Thai Airways President Sumeth Damrongchaitham said an urgent meeting had been called to reschedule flights to Europe, which normally pass through airspace affected by the chaos between India and Pakistan.

Hundreds of Brits were stranded at the airport in Thailand tonight (Wed) after all flights to Europe were cancelled amidst the India plane shootings.

Flag carrier Thai Airways cancelled ALL its scheduled flights to Europe - including one that had already taken off and was forced to turn back - leaving furious tourists with an uncertain delay at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok.

The 13 hour route goes straight across India and passes through Pakistan - risking being affected during the current tension.

The next scheduled flight to London was due to leave just after midnight tonight at 00:15 but officials said it would be rescheduled.

Flights to Frankfurt, Paris, Oslo, Milan, Zurich and Copenhagen were also cancelled.
