A Frontier Airlines flight from Denver to Tampa was delayed by four hours on Sunday after an “unruly” passenger caused chaos onboard the aircraft. The unidentified woman was removed from flight 708 after grabbing an intercom and hitting a flight attendant. The attendant was not seriously injured in the incident. The passenger was subsequently arrested by law enforcement in Denver.
The incident is just one of numerous incidents of disruptive airline passenger behavior reported in recent months. This phenomenon has been attributed, in part, to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. Airlines have reported an increase in incidents of assaults and other aggressive and potentially dangerous behavior by passengers during and after flights.
In response, many airlines have implemented stronger onboard rules and increased penalties against disruptive passengers. However, the incidents continue to occur, creating stress and danger for other passengers and flight crews.
This recent incident on Frontier Airlines is not an isolated one. It is part of a worrying trend that needs to be addressed by airlines, airports, and law enforcement. Passengers have the right to feel safe and secure when travelling, and these kinds of disruptive incidents undermine that basic expectation. The airline industry needs to work together to find solutions to this problem and ensure that flights are safe and secure for everyone.
