Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary renews calls to restrict alcohol service at airports, including at pub-style venues in terminal buildings. He argues that pubs serving passengers should not offer alcohol early in the morning, and he proposes tighter limits during other periods of the day. In his view, measures such as banning alcohol service before early morning flights would reduce drinking-related disruption for flights and airport operations. In addition to a no-alcohol window for early departures, he also supports a two-drink limit at other times to curb excessive consumption by travellers. The discussion comes as outlets highlight the presence of pub facilities at Manchester Airport, including Terminal Two, where travellers and observers describe a lively atmosphere tied to early-morning or pre-flight drinking. While the outlets focus on the “rowdy” character of some airport pub scenes, they also reflect O’Leary’s policy argument: that alcohol availability in airport terminals should be controlled through time-based bans and per-customer quantity limits.
