Plane failing for disabled

Distressing flight incidents exposed in TV documentary

- PAUL BYRNE

A DISABLED man having to sit on the floor on a plane and push himself by his hands to the toilet is among the flight experiences filmed undercover for a TV documentary.

On the same Wizz Air flight, the pilot appeared to blame a delay in take-off on wheelchairs being loaded on board.

Two other passengers were initially denied boarding due to their wheelchairs being "too heavy", despite having provided the information beforehand.

A passenger on a BA flight from London to Paris says she nearly fell from the aisle chair used to transport her off the plane.
