Airport and airline boozing could become a habit of the past - especially if Ryanair has its way. Europe’s No.1 passenger airline. In January, the airline provided set of details of the cost and fees it incurred as a direct result of a disruptive passenger on board its flight from Dublin to Lanzarote on 9th April 2024.

Exactly Chris, The punishment does not fit the crime at the moment. If passengers who cause disruption to flights are banned, by ALL airlines for say 5 or 10 years, I'm sure it would make a few of them think twice.
Perhaps Ryanair could take the lead and stop selling alcohol on their flights?
What is stupid statement by O’Leary. Last time I checked we weren’t flying the plane so his drink drive comment is gibberish. So now we are going to punish everyone for a few chavs who get boozed up, instead of fining or jailing/flight banning them. Does this 2 drink limit also apply to alcohol onboard (I doubt it)? Rather than punish everyone just hit the bad few hard and they will soon learn.
