At IWAF on 19 Sep 9.58am, I announced to the global aviation community that Singapore has acceded to the Montreal Protocol 2014. The new law was passed by Singapore Parliament in Jul. It ensures the safe, secure and efficient operation of commercial flights. Unruly passengers can affect the safety of air travel. According to IATA, between 2007 and 2016, airlines reported more than 58,000 incidents involving unruly passengers on flights, or about one incident every 1,000 flights. Unruly behavior includes assault of other passengers or crew, sexual abuse or harassment, illegal consumption of narcotics, refusal to comply with safety instructions, making threats that could affect the safety of the crew, passengers and aircraft, and other types of disorderly behavior.
