Ryanair boss calls for ban on early-morning airport drinks as bad behaviour rises

Michael O’Leary says his airline is forced to divert average of one flight a day because of disruption from passengers

Airports should be banned from serving alcohol to passengers before early morning flights, the Ryanair boss, Michael O’Leary, has said. He said the measure would reduce the number of passengers who were disruptive onboard aircraft.

O’Leary said Ryanair was being forced to divert an average of nearly one flight a day because of bad behaviour onboard, up from one a week a decade ago.
