Airport and police issue alcohol warning
12.06.08
Passengers flying from Bristol Airport are being warned not to drink to excess before boarding flights, as we approach the busy summer period. 'Know Your Limits' signs are being placed in bars and at check-in desks in a bid to curb anti-social behaviour.
The campaign is aimed at the minority of passengers whose behaviour becomes unacceptable through choosing to drink too much. Drunken passengers are warned they risk being grounded and could also be arrested.
Airport PC Andy Bibbings said: ‘We want passengers to enjoy their time at Bristol Airport and enjoy the facilities in the departure lounge. But we are reminding passengers that they are also responsible for their own behaviour and its impact on other people.'
‘If passengers consume too much alcohol and act drunkenly, abusively, or threateningly, they will not be allowed to fly and airport police will deal with them robustly and appropriately.’
A spokesman for the airport added: ‘The Know your Limits campaign is not trying to stop people enjoying themselves as they set off on holiday. By discouraging anti-social behaviour, we hope to create a more welcoming environment in the terminal.’
