Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary condemns air rage

Air rage is at an all-time high this summer, the chief executive of Ryanair has said, with Michael O’Leary blaming the high level of flight delays across Europe this summer – together with growing numbers of passengers taking drugs as well as alcohol. As passenger disruption soars, the boss of Europe’s biggest budget airline has called for a two-drink limit to be imposed at airports across Europe. Speaking to The Independent, Mr O’Leary said: “We are seeing record numbers. We and most of the airlines around Europe are seeing a spike upwards, particularly this summer, of disgruntled passengers on board. “I think the real challenge is: flight delays are up at a record high this summer, so people are spending time in airports drinking before they board aircraft.” Watch more on Independent TV: The Independent is the world’s most free-thinking newsbrand, providing global news, commentary and analysis for the independently-minded.
