Ryanair CEO Advocates Two-Drink Airport Limit

Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary is advocating for a two-drink limit on alcoholic beverages sold to passengers at airports to curb the rise in inflight violence and disruptive behavior, which has spiked this summer due to increased flight delays. O'Leary attributes the rise in incidents to prolonged drinking times at airport bars, exacerbated by delays, and a mix of alcohol with drugs. He suggests that passengers who engage in disruptive behavior face more effective local fines. However, Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin opposes this proposal, arguing that passengers get drunk on flights rather than in airport bars. Ryanair has reported weekly cases of violent outbursts on flights, particularly on routes to party destinations like Ibiza and the Greek islands.
