The ITF launches an international campaign day for action against disruptive passenger behaviour on 6 July. The ITF Zero Air Rage Campaign calls on:

GOVERNMENTS to have in place, or in passage, by the end of 2002, laws which give their police forces and courts the power to prosecute all incidents which occur on any flight from any country, which lands in their territory. In addition, an international convention (or an amendment to an existing convention), under the auspices of ICAO, should be ready for all governments to sign by the end of 2003. Governments to have in place mandatory regulations for operational training and equipment by the end of 2002.

AIRLINE OPERATORS, HANDLING AGENTS and AIRPORTS to have in place comprehensive policies, negotiated with trade unions, for preventing, managing and penalising disruptive passenger behaviour, by the end of 2001.

AIRPORT COMPANIES, AIRLINES, HANDLING AGENTS and LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES to have in place functioning liaison bodies, which should also include trade unions, for planning and implementing an integrated strategy for the prevention, management and policing of disruptive passenger behaviour, by the end of 2001.
