The airport wrote about the One Too Many Campaign on Twitter.
In accordance with UK aviation industry code of practice on disruptive passengers, the 1 in 640,000 passengers who is disruptive is one too many.
The industry is committed to tackling disruptive behaviour through a voluntary Code of Practice.
Signatories to the Code work together to prevent and minimise the number of disruptive passenger incidents, and promote:
A zero-tolerance approach to disruptive behaviour
The identification, pre-emption, management and reporting of disruptive incidents
The responsible sale and consumption of alcohol; and Education and communication with passengers.
The association states: While disruptive behaviour remains rare, when it does happen the impact can be significant – for fellow passengers, employees working at the airport and in the air, as well as for the disruptive passengers
themselves.
The results can be nuisance and annoyance at one end of the scale, to threats to passengers,
crew and aircraft safety at the other. These incidents can be costly and cause delays.
Disruptive incidents occur for different reasons and take different forms. Internal airline data suggests
that excessive and uncontrolled alcohol consumption is a common factor, but it is not the only factor.
Whatever the cause, disruptive behaviour on-board an aircraft is illegal and the worst cases can result
in fines, travel bans and custodial sentences.
It can aso lead to immediate problems in destinations Britons are travelling to.

I just returned from the states, and I'm obviously out of touch. Everything is at least double, and often triple the prices you'll find here. It was a rude awakening. But also a kind of relief. I suspect the UK isn't all that different. Especially considering... well, you know. So, if it's cheap alcohol that's the main attraction, I think perhaps that may not be the best way to attract quality tourism. And yet that's one of the things that the balearics are working to change ...to the disdain of certain types of tourists 🤨 Oh well... enjoy Greece and Turkey. Even cheaper beer there. And that's what's important. Apparently.
Can not disagree, but when the UK pub pint is likely to be £10 in the very near future, it is easy to see why the young and many others over indulge with Spanish prices, especially on holiday and having a good time. Fortunately I fall asleep after the 4th glass of wine and my system can not cope with more than 3 pints of beer, not lager. 😎
In the states, it's illegal to fly drunk or otherwise inebriated by other means, and you can't drink your own alcohol on board the plane (to enable flight attendants to control consumption). **** regardless of nationality **** Somehow, I'm inclined to believe that any legislation to this effect in Europe will also apply to ***anyone***, not just Brits. But no doubt Brits will be the sole victims of yet another draconian EU anti-Brit regulation.
