Aviation: Alcoholic Drinks

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps to engage with the airline industry on tackling problems caused by alcohol consumption on airplanes.

Answer

The Government supports the industry and its efforts to find deliverable solutions to this increasingly high profile issue. It is important to ensure that all air passengers have a safe and pleasant experience when flying.

The industry bodies have joined together to create the UK Aviation Industry Code of Practice on Disruptive Passengers, with the purpose of creating a common, consistent approach that co-ordinates and enhances existing efforts to prevent and minimise disruptive passenger behaviour.

The Government will continue to engage and meet with a broad range of operators in the aviation sector to explore any further actions to support the Code.
