Unruly Air Travelers Remain A Disturbance In The Skies, Faa Says

Allyson Versprille | (TNS) Bloomberg News The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has reaffirmed its commitment to crack down on unruly airplane passengers after tracking more than 900 cases of travelers causing in-flight disturbances so far this year. According to the regulator, there have been 915 cases of unruly passengers from the beginning of January through June 9, including 106 cases involving intoxicated travelers. “Travelers will pay for misbehaving,” the FAA said in a statement, adding that it has a zero-tolerance policy for such incidents. The FAA has increased its focus on unruly passengers in recent years as the number of incidents spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic.
