SunExpress’s German-American boss Max Kownatzki told trade publication TTG that one special flight operated by the Turkish airline for a group of Brits on a golfing break was drunk dry in the space of 25-minutes.

He said Brit travellers are “more high-spend, more hedonistic.”

    The whole aviation industry is coming apart, first the planes crash, then the doors fall off, now they run out of booze.

      As a field service tech who flies to work most of the time I can accept many things. I know technical issues happen. But no fucking way I’m flying sober.

    The airline will turn 1/4 of cargo space to a bar backroom. Running out of booze is just leaving money on the table.

    So far this year that’s 2 friends from Ireland & Wales whose planes have been delayed (1 with someone being removed) because of drunken twats.

    It was a nice reprive the last couple years due to Covid and Brexit…looks like the honeymoon is over.
