About this episode
What is air rage? Thanks for asking! Many of us have not set foot on an aeroplane for quite some time, and the idea of being crammed alongside other passengers for a long flight is potentially unnerving, what with Covid still circulating. Of late, a number of amateur clips have gone viral, showing passengers becoming aggressive and sometimes even violent towards fellow fliers or airline staff. Such incidents are examples of air rage, a phenomenon which is currently causing concern. In recent weeks, the Federal Aviation Administration and Transport Security Administration have both been sounding the alarm. The two US government agencies have reported a spike in clashes between passengers and flight staff. What’s causing people to lose it on US flights then? How have the authorities responded?
