Calls to outlaw drinking duty-free alcohol on planes

Airlines UK, the biggest trade body representative for British airlines, has called for drinking duty-free alcohol on flights to be criminalised to tackle air rage.

Simon Calder, travel editor of the Independent, called the ban "problematic".

He said: "The most effective thing would be to make disruptive passengers cover the cost of delays and diversions."

The Civil Aviation Authority report an average of eight cases a week of air rage which effect British airlines.
