Ryanair’s chief executive says he wants to ban early morning pre-flight pints, following reports of unruly behaviour on flights. One account involves a flight to Ibiza, described as having passengers ignoring cabin crew instructions and creating disorder on board. The reports highlight how groups of drinking passengers can escalate tensions in the cabin, leading to disruptions during boarding or while the aircraft is in flight.
Across the available material, the focus is on instances of rowdy, drunken conduct rather than on specific legal outcomes or penalties. The airline executive’s proposal is presented as an effort to reduce alcohol-related problems before takeoff, particularly on early flights. The underlying theme is passenger safety and cabin discipline, with cabin staff described as attempting to manage behaviour while enforcing rules. The outlets do not provide detailed timelines, passenger names, or confirmed investigations in the excerpts supplied, but they consistently describe a pattern of disorder linked to alcohol consumption before or during travel.
