Stansted airport has apologised to the Paralympian and disability rights campaigner Anne Wafula Strike after she was left stranded on a Ryanair flight on her return from the World Para Athletics European championships in Berlin on Friday.
Airport staff failed to meet her flight to take her off the aircraft and she was left waiting for 45 minutes with plane’s crew. She said that being abandoned on the plane had left her “profoundly distressed”.
