Kochi: The deplaning of the members of the Celebrity Cricket League team Kerala Strikers from a domestic flight allegedly for unruly behaviour has brought into focus the in-flight issues that might crop up either among passengers or between passengers and crew members.
Airlines said passenger misbehaviour aboard the aircraft need not always have its genesis inside the aircraft. Sometimes it is an extension of the happenings at the airport during check-in, an airline official told The Hindu.
For instance, sometimes a passenger might feel that he has been unjustly charged for the extra baggage. The anger and frustration emanating from the incident possibly finds expression once the passenger boards the flight where he might pick up a fight either with fellow passengers or crew members for no apparent reason.
Then there are occasions when a passenger gets agitated on finding his seat already occupied and such acts by ignorant passengers could also act as a trigger.
An official of another international carrier said that pent up anger on being charged for excess baggage and alcohol-induced misbehaviour were behind majority of on-board issues.
