In 2019 - the last year for data before COVID - 373 incidents of 'air rage' were reported. In 2022 this number nearly tripled. MPs are set to debate whether to change the law in order to address the problem.
On another flight, this time to Nigeria, passengers complained about a man who had been drinking excessively.
In 2019, 373 incidents were reported, a figure consistent with the numbers over the previous few years. But while those obviously fell during COVID, last year there were 1,028 cases - triple the pre-pandemic figure. "The difficulty that we have currently is that someone can be violent on a particular operator's aeroplane and then that operator cannot pass that information on to another operator. So that person can just go and fly with a different operator.
But that is often impossible. Paul Charles, a former director at Virgin Atlantic, said the problem is hugely expensive for airlines. "And of course, that then affects thousands of other passengers who are relying on that aircraft to be on time. The costs are widespread because they're not just about the costs on board an aircraft where that passenger is being disruptive, but other aircraft and airports too."
