ISTANBUL: Countries should take necessary measures to prosecute unruly passengers under the Montreal Protocol 2014 (MP14), says the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The latest figures showed that there was one unruly incident reported for every 568 flights in 2022, up from one per 835 flights in 2021. The most common infringements in 2022 were non-compliance, verbal abuse and intoxication, IATA said.
