5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

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. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Sunday 30 April
