Ryanair urges ban on early‑morning airport alcohol as rowdy passengers rise

Ryanair's chief executive has called for airports to restrict or ban the consumption of alcohol before early‑morning flights. The airline says a surge in disruptive, drunk passengers on holiday routes has created safety and operational concerns. Ryanair proposes that pre‑flight drinking, such as the traditional airport pint, be limited or eliminated to curb the chaos.

If implemented, the measure would affect travelers who routinely enjoy a drink before boarding, especially on sunrise holiday flights, and could lead to new airport policies on alcohol sales and consumption times.
