Report shows that 6 in 10 people have encountered drunk passengers following a six-fold increase in passenger incidents on planes since 2012
Almost two thirds of British adults who travel by air (60%) have encountered drunk passengers whilst traveling by air, according to a report published today.
Fit to Fly, by the Institute of Alcohol Studies and the European Alcohol Policy Alliance, found that the majority (51%) of Brits believe there is a serious problem with excessive alcohol consumption in air travel. Drunk passengers who become aggressive on planes threaten the safety of other passengers, including children. Cabin crew have reported being sexually assaulted, kicked, punched and headbutted by drunk passengers.1
Though it is an offence to be drunk on a plane, incidents of drunk and disruptive passengers have increased in recent years, up 600% since 2012,2 according to the Civil Aviation Authority, the body which regulates air travel in the UK. Fit to Fly finds that nearly a quarter of GB adults (24%) drink alcohol at the airport, and only 2% of adults reported drinking four drinks or more, indicating that a minority of passengers drinking excessively may be putting other passengers’ safety at risk.

Als ihre Verpflichtung zum Europ. Forum Alkohol und Gesundheit hat IAS (Institute of Alcohol Studies, London) eine Daten-Karte in englischer Sprache geschaffen, eine Uebersicht, die Fragen über den Alkoholkonsum und damit zusammenhängende Angelegenheiten enthält. Wie die vorangegangene Karte für England ist die europäische Daten-Karte als Quelle für Forscher gedacht, die an Alkoholfragen auf dem Gebiet der EU interessiert sind. Diese „Daten-Karte“ ist ein erster Versuch, alle öffentlich zugänglichen Daten zu Alkohol in der EU aufzuarbeiten. (Quelle: Eurocare Newsletter April/May 09) EU Data Map

As its commitment to the European Commission Alcohol and Health Forum, IAS (Institute of Alcohol Studies) has created a Data Map of English language, trans-European surveys that include questions about alcohol consumption and related matters. Like the UK Data Map which preceded it, the European Data Map is intended as a resource for researchers with an interest in alcohol issues at the European Union level. This ‘data map’ is a first attempt to map out all the publicly available data on alcohol in the EU. (Source: Eurocare Newsletter April/May 09) EU Data Map
