A series of alcohol-related incidents are disrupting flights, and airline executives are tired of it. Ryanair chief executive officer Michael O’Leary has called for a two-drink limit per passenger at airport bars, aiming to curb the rise in drunken disorder on flights and in airports. O’Leary shared with the Daily Telegraph that a combination of alcohol with “powder and tablets” has caused an increase in assaults on cabin crew and confrontations between passengers .
According to O’Leary, airlines are having a hard time identifying which passengers are drunk as they easily blend in with a group and act sober from the boarding gate to their seat. “As long as they can stand up and shuffle they will get through. Then when the plane takes off, we see the misbehaviour,” he told the Telegraph .
