Ryanair admits error on Glasgow Prestwick flight as staff refuse to let child with valid passport board

Ryanair has apologised for refusing entry to an 11-year-old child onto a flight from Glasgow Prestwick Airport to Tenerife, despite his passport being in date.

Ryley McGuckin was set to fly to the Spanish island on Monday with his mum Natasha Grey, her partner Chris Bell, and younger brother Barry, seven.

However, he was stopped at the boarding gate by Ryanair staff who stopped him from getting on the plane despite his passport not being due to expire until September 28 this year.
