"Mr O'Leary said Ryanair was being forced to divert an average of nearly one flight every day because of bad behaviour onboard, up from one a week a decade ago."
"He said: 'There should be no alcohol served at airports outside (those) licensing hours.'"
"'We are reasonably responsible, but the ones who are not responsible, the ones who are profiteering off it, are the airports who have these bars open at five or six o'clock in the morning.'"
"Passengers may be liable for the full cost of diverting a flight, which can exceed €10,000 to €80,000."
Michael O'Leary stated that disruptive passenger behavior is increasing, leading to nearly one flight diversion daily for Ryanair. He criticized early morning alcohol service at airport bars, suggesting a two-drink limit should be enforced. O'Leary emphasized that airports profit from serving alcohol irresponsibly, contributing to issues for airlines. He noted that being drunk on a plane is a criminal offense in Ireland, with significant penalties. Ryanair has initiated legal action against disruptive passengers to recover costs associated with flight diversions.
