Ryanair boss calls for two-drink limit at airports

Published On Aug 28, 2024, 3:42 AM

Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, has proposed limiting airport passengers to two drinks to combat rising alcohol-related disorder on flights, citing frequent violent incidents as a growing issue. He emphasized that the combination of drinking and certain drugs leads to aggressive behavior, making it challenging for airlines to manage inebriated passengers. Meanwhile, Wetherspoon chairman, Tim Martin, noted that they have not received complaints about their airport pubs and maintain communication with authorities to handle potential disruptions.

The suggestion by Michael O'Leary could lead to regulatory changes in airport operations and influence the travel and hospitality sector. Companies aligned with travel and airport services, especially those offering beverage sales, might see a downturn in sales if restrictions are enforced.
