FAA warns airports across the U.S. to monitor the serving of alcohol, citing a spike in unruly or dangerous behavior involving passengers who drink excessively.
In a Tuesday letter to airport managers, FAA Administrator Steve Dickson expressed his concerns about serving alcohol to passengers in restaurants and bars before flights.
Dickson continued:"The FAA requests that airports work with their concessionaires to help avoid this. Even though FAA regulations specifically prohibit the consumption of alcohol aboard an aircraft that is not served by the airline, we have received reports that some airport concessionaires have offered alcohol 'to go,' and passengers believe they can carry that alcohol onto their flights or they become inebriated during the boarding process.
Miami-Dade County police said the incident happened on a late-night Saturday flight and involved an intoxicated passenger.
