Details
As part of the fight against violence and assaults on board airplanes, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary called for restrictions on alcohol consumption before departure.
We don't want to ban people from drinking, but it's illegal to drive while intoxicated, and we put them on airplanes at an altitude of 10 kilometers
He noted that violence has increased dramatically this summer. Attacks occur almost every week.
It is not easy for airlines to identify drunk people at the gate, especially if they board with two or three other people. As long as they can stand and move, they will pass
AddendumAddendum
Ryanair employees search bags for alcohol before boarding passengers on flights to Ibiza, one of the most affected “party destinations.
Other problematic areas include some Greek islands.
