Unruly airplane passengers μενο Phenomenon increasing due to coronavirus

The number of incident disruptions has risen sharply in 2021, with several of them linked to COVID-19 refusal to comply with protection measures.

The US Department of Justice has committed itself to strict compliance Airlines and some airlines and trade unions have called for a “no-fly” list to ban flights to passengers that have been reported to cause problems.

The increase in these cases has been linked to pandemic restrictions, which sometimes cause tensions in the cabin of aircraft.

The FAA, which last year reported 37 passengers to the FBI to investigate their involvement, said about 4,600 of the 6,400 reports of unruly passengers it received between early 2021 and February 15 were passenger-related. who did not wear a face mask, as required by public health regulations.

The Ministry of Justice announced yesterday, Wednesday, that it is prosecuting a record number of passengers for incidents with aircraft crews.

In the fiscal year 2019, charges were brought against 20 defendants, followed by 2020 with 16 and a record of 21 indictments in 2021. The ministry announced that nine indictments were made in the first four months of this financial year.

Delta Air Lines chief executive Ted Bastian this month asked U.S. Secretary of Justice Merrick Garland to include passengers convicted of disrupting flights on a national “no-fly” list that would ban their future flights with any airline.

The move will “help prevent future incidents and be seen as a strong symbol of the consequences of non-compliance with crew instructions on passenger aircraft.” Delta has listed approximately 1,900 people after refusing to comply with the requirements to wear face masks, while handing over more than 900 names of passengers banned from boarding flights, to the Aviation Safety Agency (TSA), in order to impose civil penalties, such as Bastian said. Sarah Nelson, president of the CWA, which represents about 50,000 flight attendants on 17 airlines, said her union was calling for for a period of time, after being fined or convicted of causing a serious incident. “

Airlines hold discussions for months with the federal services, regarding the possibility of compiling a national “no-fly” list, but there is no indication of any imminent action.
