‘Disruptive’ man in Tinkerbell dress ousted from Ryanair jet
LONDON, England (AP) — Authorities say a man dressed as Tinkerbell has been removed from a plane at London’s Stansted Airport for disruptive behaviour.
Passengers described how police arrived and escorted two men, including one wearing a green dress and fairy wings, off the Ryanair flight to Krakow, Poland, before take-off.
Essex police said officers were summoned yesterday morning because “two men had become disruptive on a plane”. The force said “they were co-operative on being asked to leave the aircraft” and weren’t arrested.
Ryanair said the incident illustrated why it was calling for curbs on alcohol sales at airports, including a two-drink limit per passenger.
The airline said airports have a duty “to curb excessive drinking and the problems it creates, rather than allowing passengers to drink to excess before their flights”.
