US EditionUK travellers could face drinking bans in airports soon amid rise in incidents
- Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary called on April 29, 2025, for UK airports to limit alcohol consumption to reduce flight incidents.
- This request follows a rise in disorderly behaviour on flights to destinations like Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and the Canaries.
- O'Leary suggested restricting passengers to two alcoholic drinks before boarding, using boarding passes to enforce limits like duty-free sales.
- He remarked that as long as passengers appear able to stand and move slowly, they tend to be allowed to board, underscoring the challenge of detecting intoxicated travelers at airport gates.
- Ryanair argues that limiting drinks could lead to safer passenger behaviour and urges EU authorities to take action to implement these changes.
