2022 FAA reports unruly airline passenger incidents remain high, approximately twice 2020 levels, with $7.5M in fines in 2021.
The FAA reports that unruly airline passenger incidents remain high, with cases still about twice that of 2020. Last year, unruly passenger incidents fell by 15% to 2,075, resulting in $7.5M in fines. The FAA maintains a zero-tolerance policy and continues to refer cases of violent and threatening behavior to the FBI, with a total of over 270 referrals since late 2021. These concerns arise as the industry prepares for a record-breaking summer travel period.
