Michael O'Leary: 'We don’t allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000 feet'. Photograph: EPAMr O’Leary said passengers should be restricted to two drinks per journey to curb what he says is an increase in antisocial behaviour and violence.
“We don’t want to begrudge people having a drink. But we don’t allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000 feet,” he said, adding it was difficult for airlines to identify inebriated people at the gate, especially when boarding in a group. Mr O’Leary said crew members and other passengers have become targets with delays adding to the problem with longer drinking times at airports.
