The plane horror unfolded after taking off from the Hungarian capital at 9.50pm.

Terrified Shaun Pinkerton, 27, was one of the passengers who collapsed.

He told the Scottish Sun Online: "I was knocked out and needed an oxygen mask.

"There was something seriously wrong with that flight."

The garage manager, from Edinburgh, revealed two other passengers - one as young as 17 - needed CPR after collapsing.

Cabin crew had to wheel out oxygen tanks to help the stricken passengers - scattered across the front and centre of the plane.

But the flight wasn't diverted to a nearer airport for urgent medical help.

Shaun, who had just enjoyed a four-day break with pals, said: "The fire alarm was going off while we were boarding but the flight took off as planned.

"We got up in the sky and about an hour in the first person collapsed. She was only 17 and needed CPR.

"Then the second person went down, then me, and then a fourth.

"There were people standing in aisles giving CPR and they had huge oxygen tanks out.

"I was knocked out and needed an oxygen mask. Then I went into shock and was total shaking."

Shaun, who has placed a formal complaint with the budget airline, said the ordeal has left him terrified to fly again.

He added: "I'm a young guy, I fly all the time and I'm always fine. There was something seriously wrong with that flight, folk were worrying there wasn't enough oxygen.

"I don't know why they didn't divert the plane to land sooner.

"Everyone was panicking and we still don't really know what happened.

"It makes you not want to fly again. It was the flight from hell.

"I'm due to go to Poland in three weeks, and Madrid three weeks after that but I don't want to step foot on a plane ever again. It was like something out of a movie."

A Ryanair spokesperson said: “The crew of this flight from Budapest to Edinburgh (31 Jan) called ahead to request medical assistance on landing after two customers became ill onboard.

"The aircraft landed normally and these customers were met by medics for further treatment.”
