Ryanair CEO Proposes Two-Drink Limit Amid Air Rage
News summary

Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has proposed implementing a two-drink limit on his flights, contingent on similar restrictions being applied at airport bars, in response to a surge in violent incidents involving intoxicated passengers. This call for regulation follows a notable spike in disruptive behavior, particularly on flights to popular destinations like Ibiza, with a recent incident involving a passenger who assaulted crew members forcing a flight to divert. O'Leary argues that the root problem lies in passengers becoming overly intoxicated at airports, exacerbated by increasing air traffic delays. While he is willing to enforce onboard limits, critics highlight the inconsistency of allowing passengers to drink duty-free alcohol during flights. Airport bar owners, including Wetherspoons' Sir Tim Martin, have pushed back, asserting they already implement measures to curb excessive drinking. The ongoing debate raises questions about accountability for both airlines and airport establishments in managing passenger behavior.
