4 weeks agoAirlines deal with thousands of disruptive, troublesome, and often downright dangerous passengers every year. Here's how they classify them.
Since the pandemic, incidents with unruly passengers on airlines have escalated. There were almost 6,000 reports in 2021, nearly five-times as many as a year earlier, according to data from the Federal Aviation Administration. Over the next three years, the number of incidents remained roughly twice the amount reported pre-pandemic. Up to September 28, there have been 1,205 reports this year. That's already more than in 2020, although it's an encouraging sign that the numbers are falling.
