Ryanair is pushing for a two-drink limit at airport bars to curb unruly passenger behavior.
Ryanair is pushing for a two-drink limit at airport bars to curb unruly passenger behavior. The call comes after a recent incident involving a disruptive passenger who caused a flight to be diverted from its original route, incurring significant costs for the airline. The airline has now filed a lawsuit against the passenger, holding them responsible for the €10,000 expense caused by the diversion.
The airline says such incidents are increasing, with in-flight disruptions doubling in the past year. Ryanair believes stricter airport regulations are necessary to prevent alcohol-fueled problems onboard. However, airport authorities argue that managing passenger behavior is the airline’s responsibility.
Impact on Passengers:
Potential drink limits at airport bars
Airlines may refuse boarding to intoxicated passengers more frequently
Could increase travel restrictions if disruptive incidents continue
