ICAO and IATA launch new guidance for unruly and disruptive passengers

New ICAO legal guidance on the management of unruly and disruptive passengers has been officially launched. The ICAO Manual on the Legal Aspects of Unruly and Disruptive Passengers (Doc 10117) is a key result emerging from the adoption of the Protocol to Amend the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft (Montréal Protocol of 2014).

The chief aim of the guidance is to assist national governments in legislating appropriate and better harmonised legal measures to prevent and deal with unruly and disruptive passenger incidents on international flights.

“Unruly and disruptive passenger conduct can pose distinct threats to the safety and security of aircraft, flight crew and passengers,” commented secretary general of ICAO, Dr Fang Liu. “It can also generate costly disruptions to airlines and passengers alike in situations when aircraft must be diverted to manage these incidents.”

“Enhancing safety is the shared goal for governments and airlines, and deterring unruly and disruptive behaviour on flights is key to this,” added director general and CEO of IATA, Alexandre de Juniac. “IATA welcomes the new ICAO guidance, which is intended to help governments address unruly passengers under their own national law. It covers many practical measures for consideration by policymakers, including ‘on the spot’ fines to boost enforcement action.”

The launch ceremony for the new guidance, which took place on 7 June 2019, was attended by Michael Comber, director, member and external relations, ICAO Affairs; Dr Jiefang Huang, director of the ICAO legal affairs and external relations bureau; John Thachet, chairperson of the ICAO Task Force on Legal Aspects of Unruly Passengers; and Andrew Opolot, secretary of the Task Force and ICAO legal officer.

The Manual’s publication is also expected to encourage more States to ratify the Montréal Protocol of 2014. With the recent deposit on 5 June of the instrument of ratification by Uruguay, the Protocol requires two more countries to formalise their ratification before its official entry into force.
