Frontier Airlines passenger arrested for hitting flight attendant with intercom phone.
An unruly passenger on a Frontier flight from Denver to Tampa was arrested after allegedly striking a flight attendant with an intercom phone. The incident caused a delay of nearly four hours from its scheduled departure time. The pandemic caused a nearly 500% surge in unruly airline passenger incidents, with nearly 6,000 cases in 2021 due primarily to disputes over mask-wearing, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The zero-tolerance policy on unruly behavior issued in early 2021 remains in effect, allowing for criminal charges and fines of up to $37,000 per violation for anyone who disrupts a flight. The Association of Flight Attendants International is calling for a national no-fly list to remove flight privileges for unruly passengers.
