fter last week’s warnings that UK airports are becoming a “wild west” thanks to round-the-clock availability of alcohol, one UK airline has announced its plans to ban the sale of on-board booze before 8am.
From August 8, Jet2.com will refuse to sell passengers early-morning alcohol on all of its flights, in a bid to “crackdown on disruptive behaviour”. It is the first European carrier to introduce such sanctions – and is now calling on other airlines and airports to follow suit.
Phil Ward, managing director of Jet2.com says: “We believe that stopping sales of alcohol before 8am on our morning flights is an effective way to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and comfortable journey. We understand that we’re the first of the European airlines to take this bold step and call upon industry partners in airports to also trade responsibly.”
