The first time that an incident of air rage was recorded was in the 1940’s, but the passenger was never actually charged for an offence because there were no clear rules in place to specify where to prosecute. It was later established that it would be the country where the plane is registered. Air rage has increased significantly since this time, growing by a staggering 400% from 1995 to 1998. Air rage is predicted to be a major problem in the future as air travel increases, as do levels of aggression. Angry passengers can put everyone in danger including the pilots, the crew and the other passengers, with some form of assault being the most common consequence.
