    If it’s at the gate it should be getting ground based aircondition. If it’s sitting away from the gate with the engines off the APU should be on and providing aircondition and electrical power especially since you’ll be starting the engines at some point and the APU is going to be needed for that anyway.

    I don’t understand what the issue was.

    Edit: and if for some reason none of this was a available, declare an emergency before it gets to this point and either get a bus and air stairs to come get everyone or drive the plane to the nearest gate.

      I had a three hour delay at the gate a few weeks ago and didn’t have air conditioning either. It was pretty close to this situation but it was luckily only 93 and not in the 100’s.
