Ryanair calls for new measures as drink disturbances rocket
Ryanair has called for strict limits on the amount of alcohol passengers can be served at UK airports, following a spike in the number of people arrested for drunken behaviour at airports or on flights. A BBC report said 387 people had been arrested in the year to Feb 2017, up from 255 in the previous 12 months. Ryanair said that most of a 600% leap in disruptive passenger incidents recorded by UK regulator the CAA in the UK between 2012 and 2016 involved alcohol to some extent and the airline urged airports to take more responsibility for serving alcohol. “It’s completely unfair that airports can profit from the unlimited sale of alcohol to passengers and leave the airlines to deal with the safety consequences,” Ryanair CMO Kenny Jacobs said. <br/>
