Airport bars and restaurants could face limits on alcohol sales

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.”
