Progressive methods of eliminating dangerous behaviour of air transport passengers

This paper analyses the topic of dangerous behaviour of air passengers, focusing on the design of progressive methods that would contribute to the elimination of such incidents. The content of the work is divided into three main parts. The first part is dedicated to the overview of regulations and international organizations which deal with this issue. The second part is devoted to the processing of statistical data and the results of a questionnaire focused on cabin crew. By analyzing of these data, we defined the basic factors that contribute to the dangerous behaviour of passengers and described the consequences which results from such behaviour. In this section, we also address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic as a major influencing factor. The third part is providing suggestions for technical and procedural elimination of dangerous behaviour of passengers, focusing on the area of prevention. In the proposals, we target to improving existing conventional methods and also to the design of progressive methods that would provide new manners of prevention against unruly passengers. For assessment of selected methods we carried out an experimental verification. The results of this experiment confirmed the capability of the proposed methods for eliminating dangerous behaviour of air passengers.
