Disabled man ‘humiliated’ after being forced to slide down stairs to get to plane
A disabled man was forced to slide down 20 stairs due to airport staff’s failure to help
As a result, Mr Kaye said he had no choice but to use a banister and his walking stick to drag himself down 20 stairs in order to get to his plane as he feared he could miss the flight if he waited any longer. ‘I can see the plane and everybody is on board. It should be a 30 second job to operate this lift but it must have taken him ten minutes.‘All he had to do was swipe his card and punch in a code. I don’t know if he had forgotten the code. By now the last call for passengers has gone out.
He said that once at the bottom of the staircase he was offered a wheelchair for the last 50 yards to the plane, which he declined.
