Aviation: Anti-social Behaviour
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 3 July 2026 to Question 13039 on Aviation: Antisocial Behaviour, how many flights to or from UK airports have been diverted as a result of disruptive or unruly passenger behaviour in each of the last five years.
Answered by Keir Mather
Data on flights diverted due to disruptive or unruly passenger behaviour is reported to the Civil Aviation Authority through the Mandatory Occurrence Reporting scheme. Reports submitted under this scheme are subject to strict confidentiality requirements, and this data can only be used to maintain or improve aviation safety. It cannot be released to the general public or media.
