Instances of drunken passengers disrupting flights are on the rise. Not only does it create an unsavory experience for other passengers, it is also a security risk. Restaurants and pubs in UK airports are free to serve alcohol at any time, but that could be changing. Limits to alcohol sales are being considered.

Key Takeaways:

• UK airport bars may face limits on when and how much alcohol they can serve
• Airport bars have been linked with the behavior of unruly passengers
• The British Beer and Pub Association is open to working with the government on regulations regarding airport bars

“According to figures obtained in a freedom of information request by the Press Association, at least 442 people were arrested on suspicion of being drunk on a flight or at an airport in the last two years.”
