3,000 unruly passengers so far this year -- 2,300 cases over mask wearing: FAA

Airlines have now reported 3,000 cases of disruptive passengers to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) this year, and the vast majority -- 2,300 -- involve people who refused to wear a mask.

 

The FAA is investigating the highest สล็อต ฝาก-ถอน true wallet number of potential violations of federal law in unruly passenger cases since they began keeping records in 1995. The agency has identified 394 cases this year where passengers have potentially broken the law by "interfering with the duties of a crew member. "

 

This is more than double the amount of cases investigated in 2020 and two and half times the amount in 2019.

 

"In a typical year the agency will end up taking this type of enforcement action in about 100 to 160 enforcement cases so it's nothing new," FAA Chief Steve Dickson told ABC News last month. "What really is new is the volume that we're seeing right now."

 

Those on the front lines have not only witnessed the increase in flight disruptions, but they've seen them become more violent.

 

In one of the most recent incidents, a cross-country Delta flight was diverted to Oklahoma after an unruly passenger allegedly made terroristic threats and assaulted two flight attendants, according to police.
