Sweden's aviation industry calls time on disruptive behaviour from drunken passengers
This summer the Swedish aviation industry is urging airline passengers to 'put themselves in airplane mode' to avoid the sort of disruptive and drunken behaviour that is becoming increasingly common. Reports to the Swedish Transport Agency of unruly and disruptive behaviour involving flight passengers soared from 178 cases in 2022 to 503 in 2024. Former pilot, Johan Westin who's a flight operations inspector at the Swedish Transport Agency, says incidents are becoming all the more common and can range from threatening and aggressive behaviour towards staff and other passengers, to drunkenness, harassment, or failure to follow cabin crew instructions.
