Ryanair urging a ban on alcohol sales in airport bars & restaurants..

 

It is pretty rewarding to see that an idea that we raised 6 or 7 years ago and which back then was seen as something rather radical is now seriously considered by countries.

THE IRISH Aviation Authority has said that a complete ban of alcohol on flights could be considered and is ‘absolutely on the table’.

Paul Brandon, the IAA’s head of corporate affairs, was speaking on the RTE radio show Morning Ireland when he was asked if the authority was considering a ban on the sale of alcohol on flights.

“It is absolutely on the table,” Mr Brandon said. “But our preference is to focus on the awareness of the risk if they disrupt a flight.”

His comments come amid a new campaign by businesses including Ryanair, Aer Lingus and the Commission for Aviation Regulation, entitled ‘Not On My Flight’, which aims to raise awareness of the undisputed link between alcohol and ‘air rage’ incidents on flights.

He stressed that for now the campaign is focused on educating passengers on the consequences they will face should they become disruptive while flying, and as of now they are are not banning alcohol, but said that in the future they will “see if there is a need for further action”.

According to Mr Brandon, the number of reported air rage incidents on flights across Europe increased by a third between 2017 – 18.

A study published by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency found that a flight is disrupted approximately every three hours within EU airspace.

In May of this year, a flight from Dublin to Malta descended into chaos when as many as 150 drunken passengers began blaring music, dancing in the aisles and shouting at cabin crew.

The Right to be Informed About Alcohol

JFK

On March 15, 1962, President John F.Kennedy presented a speech to the United States Congress in which he extolled four basic consumer rights, later called the Consumer Bill of Rights. The United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection expanded these into eight rights and thereafter Consumers International adopted these as a charter and started recognising March 15 as World Consumer Rights Day.

The second of the 4 basic rights is the right to be informed. The right states that businesses should always provide consumers with enough appropriate information to make intelligent and informed product choices. Product information should always be complete and truthful.

So the consumer has a right to know.

Most businesses comply with the Guidelines responsibly, particularly in the food and drink category, which is fundamental to health and well-being. If you buy a pack of yogurt or a bottle of water there will be analysis of the nutritional information on the label. There is one exception.

Advertising and marketing communications for alcohol products does not mention alcohol or give any information directly to the consumer, either in advertising or on pack. For a toxic drug like alcohol the only reference on the bottle or can is “alc. 4.5% by vol.” in the case of beer. 40% in the case of spirits.

It is hard to reconcile this situation of providing the consumer with little or no information on alcohol, with the United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection.

Drinks industry has set up a smokescreen to prevent alcohol information be passed directly to consumers. Drinkiq and Drinkaware are the most familiar. People should be aware they are set up and wholly funded by the drinks companies as part of a conspiracy to keep people in the dark about alcohol.
