Objective. To review the trends in disruptive passenger behaviour on board UK registered commercial aircraft since the inception of annual reporting from April 1999. Design. Retrospective examination of data made available by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on a common reporting basis. Methods. The CAA requires airlines to submit details of incidents on a standard form. Data has been collected continuously since the start of the reporting system in 1999 and the results are published annually on the Department for Transport website. Results. An annual average of 106 million airline passengers travelled on UK aircraft over the past 4 years and an average of 1040 incidents of disruptive passenger behaviour were recorded for each year. One-fifth of these incidents was deemed to be serious. On average, a serious incident of disruptive passenger behaviour occurs on board in 1 in 30,000 flights or for every 2 million passengers carried. Excessive alcohol use and illegally smoking on board aircraft are implicated in more than 80% of incidents. The typical perpetrator is male and between 30 and 49 years of age. Conclusion. The available data suggests that disruptive passenger behaviour is not a widespread problem on board UK aircraft although there is some evidence of low-level anti-social behaviour. There appears to be a decline in the number of incidents, possibly due to stricter enforcement of air travel rules and regulations, courts handing out custodial sentences to perpetrators and media reports of cases as well as greater self-restraint among airline passengers in the post-September 11, 2001 era.
目的。回顾自 1999 年 4 月开始每年报告以来，英国注册商业飞机上扰乱性乘客行为的趋势。
设计。对民航局 (CAA) 以统一报告基础提供的数据进行回顾性检查。
方法。CAA 要求航空公司按照标准表格提交事件细节。自报告系统于 1999 年启动以来，数据一直在持续收集，结果每年都在交通部网站上公布。
结果。在过去的 4 年中，每年有 1.06 亿名航空旅客在英国飞机上旅行，平均每年记录了 1040 起扰乱性乘客行为事件。其中五分之一被认为是严重的。平均而言，在每 30000 次航班或每 200 万名乘客中，就会发生一起严重的扰乱性乘客行为事件。飞机上过度饮酒和非法吸烟事件占事件的 80%以上。典型的肇事者是男性，年龄在 30 至 49 岁之间。
结论。现有数据表明，尽管存在一些低水平反社会行为的证据，但在英国飞机上扰乱性乘客行为并不是一个普遍问题。事件数量似乎有所下降，这可能是由于更严格地执行航空旅行规则和法规、法院对肇事者判处监禁以及媒体对案件的报道，以及在 2001 年 9 月 11 日之后，航空公司乘客更加自我约束所致。
