The rate of unruly passenger incidents on airplanes fell to the lowest level since 2020 a week after a federal judge ended a government mask mandate for public transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday.
In January, the FAA implemented a zero tolerance policy after noticing a disturbing increase in unruly passenger incidents on flights.
Under the policy, the FAA issues fines to disorderly passengers instead of warning letters or counseling. The agency said the policy helped reduce the incident rate by more than 60% since it was enacted. Passengers wait in line inside the terminal at Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, N.J., Nov. 24, 2021.
