New rules to crack down on air rage Andrew Thomson, CanWest News Service; Ottawa Citizen Published: Sunday, May 20, 2007 Transport Canada wants to make it easier for airlines and their crews to refuse service to "unruly and disruptive" passengers, announcing a series of new regulations. The federal department wants better legal grounds for operators, who are often challenged in court by travellers rejected during check-in or boarding. Tougher rules to combat "air rage" have been planned by government and industry leaders since before the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the department said. Passenger incidents ranging from assault and molestation to vandalism, smoking, and sexual harassment have been rising since the early 1990s, according to surveys of international airlines. Four categories of incidents will be created, ranging from abusive language to sabotage or death threats. Other proposed amendments to the Canadian Aviation Regulations would improve crew training requirements, help operators develop programs for preventing passenger incidents, and force the mandatory reporting of incidents that interferes with flight safety. The final changes will be announced after a 30-day feedback period to the proposals, which were published Saturday in the Canada Gazette.
