Just four months into 2021, incidents so far of air passengers that federal regulators describe as "unruly" has increased exponentially from what the Federal Aviation Administration sees in a typical year. That's what an FAA spokesperson told the New York Daily News Monday and it comes as air travel remains below typical numbers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In one of the most recent cases, a woman was restrained by an off-duty police officer on a flight after she reportedly attacked flight attendants for not picking up her garbage and then claimed police wouldn't do anything to her for it.
The FAA has received about 1,300 reports of unruly passengers from airlines since February, the FAA spokesman told the Daily News. About 260 of those have been identified as potential federal violations.
An online FAA database shows that, since 1995, the agency has reported an average of 179 cases of unruly passengers per year. There have been seven times as many cases since February. #WakeUpCLT
