A husband had to carry his disabled wife onto a Ryanair flight after
staff refused to help – because of health and safety rules.

Wheelchair-bound Jo Heath, 54, had warned the budget airline she would
need assistance boarding the plane when she booked her flight from
Luton to Brest, France.

But the Ambulift device used by the airport did not arrive and flight
staff told the couple it was Ryanair policy to leave passengers who
could not get aboard themselves.
