Mum says Ryanair staff 'weren't bothered' as diabetic daughter waited hours for food

A mum claimed Ryanair staff "weren't bothered" as she battled to keep her daughter's blood sugar levels up on a delayed flight.

Nine-year-old Isla Jennings had eaten her lunch at Manchester Airport but had to rely on a packet of Jelly Babies before her Ryanair flight finally landed in Tenerife at 11.30pm. Her mum, Victoria Jennings, said that there were barely any refreshments available on the flight, leaving the family anxious as they monitored the youngster's blood sugar levels.

Her family's flight was due to leave Manchester at 2.20pm on Sunday, May 29, but passengers were warned of a one-and-a-half-hour delay. Mum Victoria Jennings says passengers were then told to queue at the gate at 3.30pm - but they were kept there for two hours before finally being allowed to board the plane, reported Manchester Evening News.
