Violent outbursts are occurring weekly on flights due to alcohol, according to Michael O'Leary.

Aeroplane passengers should be restricted to two drinks at airports, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary has said.

Mr O’Leary said introducing alcohol limits at airports would help tackle a rise in disorder on flights.

Violent outbursts are occurring weekly due to alcohol, he said, especially when it is mixed with other substances.

“We don’t want to begrudge people having a drink,” he told the Daily Telegraph.

“But we don’t allow people to drink-drive, yet we keep putting them up in aircraft at 33,000ft.”

    I didn’t realise you had to fly the plane yourself on Ryanair now. That’s one way to cut costs I guess…

      You say this, but have you ever tried to drive a car (sober) that is packed full of drunk people? It’s not easy, and they all might just get you pulled over anyway.

        If they have a divider like the pilot does, then that’s kinda like driving a limo.
