The passengers remained in Romania after a plane of the low-cost airline company Ryanair was diverted from its London-Plovdiv route to the Romanian city's airport yesterday evening.

The group includes 160-180 people, including a pregnant woman in the 8th month. Some of the Bulgarians have already left for Bulgaria by bus, it was reported.
