Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the rise in the number of disruptive passenger incidents on flights to and from the UK in the past year.

We are looking at the issue of disruptive passengers as part of the development of the Aviation Strategy.

The Government will continue to engage and meet with a broad range of operators in the aviation sector to monitor developments and to explore any further actions to support the industry’s efforts in this field.
