The number of air rage incidents on UK airlines has quadrupled in the last three years, it has been reported, as the government considers a crackdown on airport drinking. Civil Aviation Authority figures show there were 386 dangerous incidents in 2015, up from 85 in 2013, according to the BBC. They included examples of passengers fighting each other and one traveller attempting to open a plane door mid-flight. I think a lot of the time people think that they’re in a club or in a bar. One airline, the Leeds-based budget carrier Jet2, had already banned alcohol sales on its flights before 8am after an alleged air rage incident earlier this year.
