The extent of the problem:

A current IATA survey shows a fivefold increase in incidents:
1994: 1,132 incidents
1997: 5,416 incidents
The US Aviation Safety Reporting System is recording a huge rise in incidents being reported in the United States. Moreover one in four incidents is so serious that it requires intervention by one of the flight crew members. According to ASRS unruly passenger reports from cabin crew have increased by around 800 per cent…
1997: 66 incidents
1999: 534 incidents
Most statistics are likely to be an under-estimate as they only rarely include incidents of threatening behaviour that do not include physical violence. Australian airlines began reporting incidents in 1998 for the first time. In 1999 nearly 660 occurrences were recorded. In the previous year when only actual violence was recorded the figure had been 30.
