Abstract

The article focuses on Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary's campaign for a two-drink limit at airport pubs to address increasing incidents of air rage attributed to intoxicated passengers. O'Leary has reported a rise in violent incidents on Ryanair flights, particularly on routes to party destinations like Ibiza and Ayia Napa, and has criticized the early opening hours of airport bars. He argues that the responsibility for managing alcohol consumption should extend to these establishments, suggesting that their practices contribute to unruly behavior on flights. In response, Wetherspoons CEO Sir Tim Martin defended his company's efforts to curb excessive drinking at airports, highlighting measures already taken to reduce such behavior.
