Airline bosses today renewed calls for a two-drink limit at airports after a drunken passenger dressed as Tinkerbell was removed from a Ryanair flight by armed police.

The traveller - and a companion dressed as Bob the Builder - were removed from a plane due to take off from Stansted airport to Krakow in Poland on Friday.

Dan May, who was a passenger on the flight, claims "one officer has adjusted the man's wings" before arresting him, whilst "Bob the Builder has been exceptionally well behaved."

Ryanair confirmed that an 'unruly Tinkerbell' had been removed from the flight by police and repeated its calls for limits on drinking at airports.

Bosses said they wouldn't tolerate 'unruly or disruptive' behaviour.

Mr May also wrote on Twitter: "Our flight to Krakow hasn't taken off yet because a man dressed as Tinkerbell has threatened to cut everyone up.

"This is why you don't fly Ryanair from Stansted.

"Armed police have shown up."
