A French airport blasted by Ryanair for an “abysmal” error that saw a passenger in a wheelchair left behind at the terminal has hit back at what it has branded “false and defamatory claims”.
Last week, the low-cost carrier blamed Bordeaux Airport, in southwestern France, for an “unacceptable” error that meant it had to turn one of its planes – which was about to depart for Edinburgh, Scotland – back from taxiing to the runway as a passenger with reduced mobility had been overlooked.
