Airlines Ban Alcohol on <br />Planes Amid COVID-19 According to CNN, <br />Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Asia's Virgin Australia, and Europe's KLM <br />and Easy Jet are temporarily halting all <br />or part of their alcohol service. The measure is part of the industry's <br />protocol to limit interaction <br />between crew and passengers <br />during food and drink service. Water will only be available <br />to drink on many flights. Since face masks must be worn on the <br />majority of flights around the world, limiting passengers to only water also ensures that they <br />won't have their face masks off for extended periods of <br />time, as opposed to slowly sipping an alcoholic beverage. One airline that has chosen to <br />keep booze on the menu is Irish <br />budget airline Ryanair. They're <br />axing hot drink service instead. Beer, wine and spirits will still <br />be served on Delta Airlines' <br />international flights, but not on <br />domestic flights or within the Americas.
