“Who needs to drink beer at that hour?”: Ryanair boss calls for ban on early morning alcohol in airports

Ryanair's chief executive, Michael O'Leary, has launched a strong appeal to ban the sale of alcohol in airports during the early morning hours. The outspoken head of the budget airline argues that the current situation is leading to an unacceptable number of disruptions and safety concerns.

O'Leary highlighted in an interview with The Times that flight diversions are becoming an almost daily occurrence. These diversions are attributed to passengers who have consumed excessive alcohol, leading to disruptive and unruly behavior onboard. This poses a significant challenge to airline operations and passenger experience.

The airline industry, particularly low-cost carriers like Ryanair, often deals with a diverse range of passengers. O'Leary's call suggests a growing frustration with the impact of alcohol-fueled incidents on flight schedules and the overall safety and comfort of air travel. The proposal aims to curb such behavior by limiting access to alcohol during critical travel times.
