IATA is pleased to support this important campaign by the IAA.
Thankfully, only a very small number of passengers become unruly and disruptive onboard flights, but where this does happen their behavior has a disproportionate impact. We are confident this campaign will play a key role in reducing the number of incidents.
But there is more work still to be done. IATA members airlines tell us that in around 60% of cases, unruly passengers are not prosecuted for their misbehaviour because of jurisdictional gaps in the Tokyo Convention 1963. These jurisdictional gaps were resolved by the Montreal Protocol 2014 but many States are yet to ratify the Protocol. That is why It is important that leading aviation markets, including Ireland, now ratify the Montreal Protocol 2014 to strengthen the global legal deterrent against unruly and disruptive passenger incidents onboard flights.
