Adrian Keogh had to “bunny-hop” off the aircraft after help was delayed by an hour.
A handicapped Irish man has blasted Ryanair for its “unacceptable” disability accommodations after he was forced to “bunny-hop” off a flight without help over the weekend.
Adrian Keogh, of Wicklow — who has used a wheelchair since he suffered a spinal injury in a 2015 construction accident – was told that it would take one hour for assistance to arrive to help him disembark after his Ryanair flight landed at Landvetter Airport in Sweden on Saturday,Keogh said he could not wait for help because he was in pain from the flight and needed to use the restroom. His brother offered to carry him off the aircraft, but that was also deemed too risky.
In a statement to Insider, Ryanair apologized for Keogh’s experience and said they were “working with Landvetter Airport to ensure this does not recur.” Landvetter also issued its own apology, which attributed Keogh’s treatment to “unforeseen events” that delayed the assistance service. Keogh’s Ryanair debacle is the latest public accessibility issue to make headlines. Earlier this year, Denver councilperson Chris Hinds wasAdrian Keogh / Instagram“I’m about to start a debate, I’m about to do my best to share with the people who are in front of me why I am the best candidate. Meanwhile, I am out of my wheelchair, laying on the stage,” Hinds said of the difficult moment.
