A five-year-old girl who was holidaying with her family on the island of Gran Canaria was just millimetres away from tragedy, it has been revealed.
Mya Mullin – who is now 12 – is left with permanent scars after the 2018 accident on the Jet2 holiday. Along with her mum and dad, they were enjoying a package holiday at the Hotel Lago Taurito when Mya mistakenly ran into the closed sliding glass door of their apartment terrace. Her father, Neil Mullin, recounted the harrowing moment, saying he “heard the bang” and then saw Mya “still in the door with glass stuck in her, screaming.”

He said: “Seeing my child stuck there with the glass embedded and then holding her stomach wound together for about 30 minutes until the ambulance arrived, it really affected all of us. It was just neglect.
“You book a holiday for your family and you expect a room that is safe for you and your children, but it didn’t look like any recent safety checks had been done. I think Jet2 failed their customers.”
