Airport hammer: Drunk vacationers don't fly to Mallorca!

At Leipzig/Halle Airport, two incidents caused excitement on Thursday morning when two passengers were excluded from their flights to Mallorca due to excessive alcohol consumption. The first reports come from [Welt] (https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article256315850/leipzig-passagere-zu-bunken-fuer- after-mallorca.html), which were confirmed by the federal police.

In the first case, a 27-year-old man was no longer available in his seat. A doctor was consulted who carried out a breath alcohol test that showed a value of 1.7 per thousand. Because of its condition, the pilot decided to cancel the starting process. The heavily alcoholic vacationer was brought out of the plane and later picked up by relatives. The machine that was supposed to fly to Mallorca had to take off with delay after the situation was clarified.

second incident on the gate

After the first incident, a 45-year-old man was noticed by his conspicuous behavior and the alcohol flag on the gate. In this case, too, the pilot decided not to take the man with them. A review by the federal police confirmed that this had more than 3 per thousand in his blood. He was also escorted from the security area and could not start his journey.

The federal police pointed out that excessive alcohol consumption not only carries health risks, but can also cause considerable costs. Airlines can be charged off broken off, which can be expensive for the passengers concerned. This is a further indication of the responsibility that travelers bear before they get on a plane.

These two incidents at Leipzig Airport serve as an urgent memory that security is in the top priority and that passengers have to take on their behavior both towards themselves and other responsibility. The federal police and the airlines expect all travelers to behave in the context of the legal regulations and security guidelines.
