UK passenger disruption figures rise sharply
Standards of passenger behaviour on UK airlines have plummeted in recent years, according to figures compiled by the CAA. The number of incidents of disruptive passengers has more than quadrupled in just three years, from 85 in 2013 to 386 in 2015. Alcohol consumption has played a major role in the incidence of “air rage” incidents. The worst of the problems tend to occur on short-haul European flights, either to/from holiday destinations or involving groups of people traveling together. The UK govt said in July that it is looking at the way in which alcohol is sold at airports, but no conclusions have yet been drawn from the investigation. Internationally, ICAO has also proposed measures to deal with the problem of inflight disruptive passengers. <br/>
