Summer Travel Season Means More Incidents

Passengers who disrupt airline flights can be a danger to flight crew members as well as other passengers and may also jeopardize flight safety. The FAA is very concerned about these types of incidents and several years ago began making passengers who exhibit bad behavior pay for their lack of self-discipline. Incidents of airline passengers disrupting flights have been a chronic problem for several decades but the resumption of travel volume in the months following the pandemic restrictions saw a nearly 6-fold increase with 5,973 incidents in 2021.
