FAA Gives Airlines a Week to Come Up With Steps to Address Unruly Passengers

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) urged US passenger airlines “to commit to take more action” in addressing reports of violent or unruly passengers. In a meeting on 21SEP, the administration asked airline trade groups to disclose within a week what steps they will take to address these issues. The FAA highlighted that the airline industry is facing a record number of passenger behaviour issues, and will soon hold similar meetings with representatives from airports and labour. The meeting included groups from Airlines for America, which represents American Airlines, Delta, United, and more, to discuss “ways the industry can work together to reduce the number of unruly passenger incidents.” The FAA added that it “believes additional action by the airlines and all aviation stakeholders is necessary to stop the unsafe behavior.”
