Amputee Asked To Crawl Across Airline Tarmac And Up The Ramp To His Seat


38-year-old Matthew Parkes was flying to Manchester from Malaga in Southern Spain with his family. Parke, who had lost control of both of his legs, was forced to drag himself down two ramps, "across the tarmac and onto the plane", News.Com.Au reported. Parkes “like a second-class citizen”, he told the Manchester Evening News, when he had to crawl to a waiting Ryanair jet. Only when he refused was he placed on stretcher and carried aboard. Parkes had lost his legs, and suffered hand damage on a 2015 trip. Ryanair reportedly denied Parkes' version of events.



According to the flight's spokesman: “As far as we can tell there is no truth to these claims. We have received no reports from either the cabin crew or the PRM provider of any issues in assisting this passenger to his seat.” “I hope those that know Matthew know that he has integrity,” she wrote on Facebook.

“He didn’t ask for a refund or a free flight. He stated he would never fly Ryanair again even if free. We will continue to name and shame if (discriminated against).”

"Ryanair treated him like an animal on the way back. He wasn’t recognised as a person, and I had to see my husband be humiliated. I’m absolutely disgusted.
