Violent outbursts are occurring weekly on flights due to alcohol, according to Michael O'Leary.
Aeroplane passengers should be restricted to two drinks at airports, Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary has said.
Mr O'Leary said introducing alcohol limits at airports would help tackle a rise in disorder on flights. Violent outbursts are occurring weekly due to alcohol, he said, especially when it is mixed with other substances."But we don't allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft."Crew members and other passengers have become targets, according to Mr O'Leary."In the old days, people who drank too much would eventually fall over or fall asleep. But now those passengers are also on tablets and powder," he added.
"As long as they can stand up and shuffle they will get through. Then when the plane takes off, we see the misbehaviour," he said. Ryanair staff search bags for alcohol before passengers board flights to Ibiza, one of the worst-affected "party destinations".
