Alcohol exclusions at Leipzig Airport: Vacation in danger!

Flughafen Leipzig, Deutschland - At Leipzig Airport, the holiday season for many passengers started with an inglorious event. As thueringen24.de , several alcoholic-grappled travelers had to be excluded from the flight due to excessive alcohol consumption. There were two particularly dramatic incidents on June 26th.

The start made a 27-year-old passenger who was found as unapproachable before his departure to Mallorca. The flight captain noticed the situation and immediately broke off the starting process. Despite the fast intervention - an emergency services were alerted - the man was brought out of the security area with a breath alcohol value of 1.7 per thousand. The flight finally dropped at 7.22 a.m. without it.

Shortly afterwards, a 45-year-old passenger who wanted to travel to Madeira to Funchal did not take it. Airport employees had informed the police because of his striking behavior and the strong smell of alcohol. During a breath alcohol test, three per thousand was found, which is why it was also escorted from the security area. In a statement, the federal police warned to caution in the consumption of alcohol before the flight: "Excessive alcohol consumption can not only lead to the deflection of flights, but also at high costs for airlines that can result in start delays and additional measures" ( mdr.de ).

The joy of vacation often leads to passengers to celebrate alcoholic drinks on the plane. Whether sparkling wine, wine or a good beer - but drinking before and during the flight has its pitfalls. According to Reisereeporter.de Traveling height dramatically, which contains the cardiovascular system. In addition, there are health risks that are reinforced by increased blood oxygen values for alcoholic travel levels.

A study by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) has shown that the blood oxygen content when enjoying alcohol drops to an average of 85 %, while it is between 95 and 100 % in an empty passenger. Especially in higher classes such as first and business, poor sleep can result from an increased heartbeat.
