Airlines ban alcohol after mid-flight attack
American Airlines joins Southwest Airlines to delay the return of in-flight alcohol service after recent attack
American Airlines told crew members it will not reintroduce alcohol sales until mid September.
The airline first paused alcoholic beverage services last March. The intention was to decrease contact between passengers and flight attendants amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Now the airline is citing a recent spike in “disturbing situations on board aircraft” as they announce the decision to delay the sale of alcoholic beverages.
