Following several occurrences where Russian passengers participated in drunken debauchery on flights, a deputy from the Communist Party has submitted draft legislations asking for the prohibition of alcohol on flights.
Alcoholic drinks would be banned on-board, and in the future, drunk passengers could be stopped from boarding.
This request comes after Deputy Vadim Bulavinov was removed from a flight on Monday for drunken behavior, and last December, a former deputy governor was charged with being a hooligan after his drunken behavior forced a plane headed for Moscow to make an emergency landing.
Solovyev wants the law to apply to everyone: politicians, regular citizens, those in business class, and those in economy class.
