Unruly passenger incidents on board commercial aircraft have become a significant issue in the aviation industry and caused tremendous expenses for air operators. The number of incidents of unruly behavior by airline passengers rose sharply in 2015. Even though some air law and legal instrument governing unruly passenger events have been established since 1963. Why is the number of unruly passenger occurrence still raising, despite the existing legal framework and regulations by ICAO and IATA? This book put the focus on three main topics. First, the existing legal framework applicable to the unruly passenger cases. Secondly, It mentions about the recent practical experiences regarding unruly passengers, including the statistics, type of unruly behavior and case study. Thirdly, the incongruity between the legal framework and the practical experiences is reflected. Lastly, this book is aimed to raise the awareness of the issue and to look for the answers, "Why the number of global unruly passenger incidents has been increasing constantly although the legal framework has become even more strict?" and " What could we do to prevent the unruly passenger incidents?"
