Belfast - Alcohol Sales

Jet2.com, the UK low-cost carrier, has claimed to be the first European airline to ban alcohol sales... before 8am.
The airline, which flies to 17 destinations from Belfast International, announced the measure to tackle disruptive and abusive behaviour on flights.
Alcohol has been cited as a common factor in air rage incidents - most recently in the UK aviation industry's Code of Practise on Disruptive Passengers.
Jet2.com's announcement comes as part of its Onboard Together campaign, which has seen more than 500 passengers refused travel and over 50 of those given lifetime bans since its launch in 2015.
The new rule will take effect from Monday, August 8.
“We believe that stopping sales of alcohol before 08:00BST on our morning flights is an effective way to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and comfortable journey, said Phil Ward, the airline's Managing Director.
