Terror law to treat Iranian proxies as foreign spies
Michael O’Leary said nearly 1 flight a day is being diverted as airlines seek tighter limits on alcohol service and disruptive passengers.
- Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary urged banning alcohol sales in airport bars before morning flights, proposing a two-drink limit and aligning airside hours with pub licensing to curb disruptive passenger behavior.
- O'Leary noted that Ryanair now diverts nearly one aircraft daily due to bad behavior, a sharp increase from about one diversion per week ten years ago.
- Airside bars operate without traditional licensing hours, prompting O'Leary to criticize airports for "profiteering" by serving alcohol at 5 or 6 a.m., with the mix of alcohol and "people shoving powder up their nose" fueling incidents.
- Other airlines such as Jet2 are lobbying for a national database to ban disruptive passengers, while those convicted of being drunk on planes face fines up to £5,000 and two years' imprisonment.
- Civil Aviation Authority statistics show airlines face about 400 more disruptive incidents annually than before the pandemic, while the One Too Many campaign emphasizes legal sanctions and personal responsibility.
