Ryanair lobbies to restrict the sale of alcohol in airports to combat incivility

Ryanair, the famous low-cost airline, is taking a stand to restrict the sale of alcohol in airports. This initiative aims to combat incivility on board aircraft, a recurring problem in the airline industry.

Ryanair's motivations

Ryanair, the low-cost airline, has recently launched a campaign aimed at restrict the sale of alcohol in airports. This initiative follows a series of incidents linked to behaviour uncivil and aggressive behaviour from intoxicated passengers.

Incidents of uncivil behavior

Incidents of incivility in airports and on board aircraft are on the rise. Intoxicated passengers cause delays, disturb the peace and quiet of other passengers, and sometimes jeopardize safety on board. Ryanair has recorded an increase in these disruptive behaviors, causing major concerns for flight safety and comfort.

Proposed solutions

Ryanair proposes several measures to limit these incidents. These include limiting the sale of alcohol in airports before flights, and prohibiting the consumption of duty-free alcohol on board. The airline is also encouraging training for airport staff to better manage crisis situations.

Feedback from airports and passengers

This proposal has provoked reactions shared. Some passengers feel this could enhance the travel experience, while others believe it could limit their freedom. Airports, for their part, are expressing concern about the implementation of these restrictions and their impact on revenues generated by alcohol sales.

Economic and social impact

Reducing the sale of alcohol at airports could have a significant economic impact, particularly on duty-free revenues. However, the priority given to safety and maintaining a peaceful travel environment could justify such measures.

Next steps

Ryanair plans to work closely with airport authorities and aviation regulators to explore the feasibility of these measures. The company also hopes to raise public awareness of the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption before flights.
