Violent outbursts are occurring weekly on flights due to alcohol, according to Michael O'Leary.

Aeroplane passengers should be restricted to two drinks at airports, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has said.

Mr O’Leary said introducing alcohol limits at airports would help tackle a rise in disorder on flights.

Violent outbursts are occurring weekly due to alcohol, he said, especially when it is mixed with other substances.

“We don’t want to begrudge people having a drink,” he told the Daily Telegraph.

“But we don’t allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft.”

    Is this a meme I don’t understand, or are you actually comparing an international flight with your local bus?

    “We should make it better”

    Airlines:

    Rest assured, they truly do want to get you through the airport and to your destination as soon as possible, it would be more profitable for them.

      Local flights have the same issues.

      The airlines don’t run airports. Much of the slowdowns and hassles that occur there are caused by TSA security theater.

        So run airports like buses, no security, people just rock up to the plane?

        Just seems like a massive oversimplification of an insanely complex system, with no actual suggestion about how to achieve that.

        Why do they spend so long building skyscrapers when building a residential home is much easier. They should just build skyscrapers like residential homes.
