Abstract

The article discusses the rise of unruly behavior among airline passengers as the summer travel season begins in the Northern Hemisphere. Incidents of air rage have increased significantly, with one disorderly incident reported for every 568 flights in 2022, up from one per 835 flights in 2021, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Contributing factors include increased alcohol consumption, high ticket prices, and heightened anxiety post-COVID. The aviation industry is advocating for stronger enforcement measures against disruptive passengers, including mandatory self-defense training for flight attendants and enhanced security at airports.
