A disabled passenger had to resort to calling police after a three-and-a-half-hour battle to leave Manchester Airport during the early hours.
Daryl Tavernor, 33, was stranded on the plane for two hours after the delayed flight from Rome to Manchester landed at 2.30am. The digital marketer, who has spinal muscular atrophy and requires special assistance, said he was left stranded at border control for about another 90 minutes before calling police.
Daryl told the Manchester Evening News : "I felt like I was being held hostage so I had no other option but to call the police".

He added: "All the other passengers were able to get off the plane as quickly as they could. It usually only takes around 10 to 15 minutes for special assistance to get me off the plane. But it was just me and the crew and captain stuck for another two hours.
"The captain got so annoyed he went to find special assistance himself. I was told they didn't come straight away as they don't usually have planes landing at this time, but they can't plead ignorance, the captain would have told them everything on our way.
"At this point I've been on the plane for five-and-a-half hours, I was extremely uncomfortable and just wanted to be in my chair. The person they sent for me really struggled to get me off the plane, I'm not a heavy guy but this person really struggled."
Daryl requires special assistance to get him off the plane, and into his wheelchair which is kept in the hold during the flight on May 26.
After landing, passengers were quickly let off the flight while Daryl started his wait for special assistance staff, run by a company
