Dry Airlines – 8 Carriers That Don’t Serve Alcohol

For many passengers, a glass of wine or can of beer is part of the flying experience. However, for other travelers, this factor is completely foreign. In fact, numerous airlines outright restrict alcohol on their services.

The following list charts a selection of notable examples of carriers that don’t serve alcoholic beverages onboard their flights:

• Air Arabia: The Emirati low-cost airline states that alcohol is prohibited onboard its planes.
• Egyptair: The flag carrier of Egypt doesn’t sell alcohol but the airline doesn’t mind catering to passengers that bring their own alcoholic products onto the aircraft.
• Iran Air: In Iran, alcohol has been legally prohibited for Muslim Iranians since 1979. This strong stance carries over to the national airline, with no offering of alcohol.
• Iraqi Airways: There is no sale of alcohol on the Iraqi flag carrier. However, passengers can carry it in checked luggage.
• Kuwait Airways: Kuwait’s national carrier doesn’t allow alcohol on its services.
• Pakistan International Airlines: PIA does not serve alcohol on its flights. Pakistan’s national carrier also doesn’t let passengers consume it while on its services.
