Ryanair calls for alcohol restrictions to curb bad behaviour in the air

Following a series of incidents involving boozed-up passengers, Ryanair has recently called for a restriction on the number of alcoholic beverages passengers are allowed to consume pre-flight. The airline is asking airports to impose a two-drink limit per boarding pass, and a total ban on alcohol sales before 10am. Disruptions, delays and even diversions to offload drunk and aggressive passengers have been a problem in the skies over the past decade, and it's getting bigger. A BBC investigation revealed a 50% rise in the number of people arrested on British flights in the year ending Feb 2017 over the previous year. A lot of the problems Ryanair experiences occur on flights to and from Ibiza and Alicante, two of Europe's premier party destinations. <br/>
