A wheelchair user was left “humiliated” after he was forced to crawl off a Ryanair flight and down plane steps after an “unacceptable” delay in assistance.

Adrian Keogh, 37, said he wants airports and airlines to do more for people with disabilities after his ordeal at a Landvetter Airport in Sweden on Saturday.

Mr Keogh, from Wicklow in Ireland, said he had booked for priority to ensure he got the support he needed when flying.
