Travelers from the UK are being cautioned about a common error that might result in an £80,000 fine, two years in Jail, or possibly a lifetime ban from flying. To warn them of the possibility of a sizable charge for drinking while on a plane, around two million people are targeted on social media.
Airport beverages are among life’s greatest joys, so don’t let that stop you from having a little fun. However, getting too drunk could have serious implications, including the prospect of going to jail. In addition to using internet monitoring technologies to reach young people’s phones at four popular airports, the One Too Many campaign will send warnings via Instagram and Facebook to 18 to 35-year-olds throughout the UK.

It is being funded by airlines and airport operators and is scheduled to last through September 1 in response to an increase in reports of violent and mass brawl-related occurrences known as “air rage” as travel volumes recover to pre-pandemic levels.
The initiative, according to aviation minister Baroness Vere, is part of a “zero-tolerance approach towards disruptive behaviour,” which aims to protect all passengers and personnel. Bristol, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, and Belfast International are the four airports that the technology is focusing on.

The International Air Transport Association, Airport Operators Association, Airlines UK, UK Travel Retail Forum, and UKTRF all contributed funding to the campaign. The implications of disruptive behaviour are very significant and might prevent you from traveling for years, according to Nigel Keal, head of the UKTRF.
The campaign is meant to urge everyone to be responsible, said Karen Dee, chief executive of the AOA. Airports will be on the lookout for any disruptive activity and won’t hesitate to take action.
