A “disruptive” man dressed up as Peter Pan’s fairy sidekick, Tinker Bell, was escorted off of a Ryanair flight Friday morning.
The man dressed as Tinker Bell boarded the Poland-bound flight at London’s Stansted Airport with a friend dressed as Bob the Builder.
Once the men were on the plane, Ryanair says they became “unruly” and “disruptive," a spokeperson told Fox News.
Essex police were called to the scene. An armed officer led the man dressed a Tinker Bell off the plane. One of the officers “adjusted the man’s wings” while leading him off the plane, BBC reported.
A Ryanair spokesperson told Fox News that two passengers were removed – though police did not confirm if the man dressed as Bob the Builder was taken off the flight.
“Police removed and detained two passengers ahead of this flight from London Stansted to Krakow who were disruptive.”
Police told BBC the men were cooperative while being escorted off the plane.
The flight left after a short delay and the two passengers who were removed were able to book later flights that same day.
Ryanair told Fox News the incident should prompt airports to limit alcohol sales.
"This is exactly why we are calling for significant changes to prohibit the sale of alcohol at airports, such as a two-drink limit per passenger and no alcohol sales before 10am,” a Ryanair spokesperson said. "It's incumbent on the airports to introduce these preventative measures to curb excessive drinking and the problems it creates, rather than allowing passengers to drink to excess before their flights."

Why did they let the freak on in the first place?
Tinkerbell can fly on her own so doesn’t need to fly commercial.
That’s the big question. Did they bring their prayer rugs or what?
Alcohol should not be served at airports. Period.
Now if Ryan Air could get that damn’ sheep smell off all their planes it might actually be a fly-able airline!
A couple of deviants. There’s a reason the characters they chose are oriented to children.
Better hustle if “they” are headed to Burning Man.
“Why would Tinker Bell need to book a flight on a plane? Just fly.
Because she’s flying with Bob the Builder and Bob can’t fly........and he’s probably too heavy to carry.”
So why doesn’t Bob build an airplane?
Two guys who wanted to join a hen party so they can see what goes on?
He’s lucky he didn’t land in Poland, they would have kicked his ass there.
"Oh, it's a big, pretty, white plane with red stripes, curtains in the window, and wheels, and it looks like a big Tylenol."
“Ryanair told Fox News the incident should prompt airports to limit alcohol sales.”

Limit? I wouldn’t care if they banned it,both at the airport and on the plane.
It worked for smoking,why not alcohol?
.
Face block LOL
I used to work at an airport restaurant with a bar. That bar accounted for maybe 90% of total profit. Basically many travelers like a pop or two before getting on a plane. Not because they are alcoholics necessarily but they just want to calm their nerves a little before getting into a flying cattle car.
Flight attendants are well trained in recognizing travelers who are not sober or who are likely going to pose a problem. A couple years ago I was boarding a plane and a person in front of me was pulled aside because he was obviously drinking and was already making a nuisance of himself. They don't get all of them but considering the sheer number of flights that go out everyday, their batting average is pretty high.
Hm, I’m pretty sure the quotes need to go around the word “man” and not the word ‘disruptive’.
Why build when he can fly commercial with Tinkerbell?
“So why doesn’t Bob build an airplane?
Why build when he can fly commercial with Tinkerbell?”
I was going to make a “Mile High” joke but couldn’t get past the gag reflex.
