"Not On My Flight" campaign draws attention to safety impact of unruly behaviour on flights

Forwarded message - From: EASA Press Release

Cologne, April 3, 2019 Press Release "Not On My Flight" campaign draws attention to safety impact of unruly behaviour on flights Every 3 hours the safety of a flight within the EU is threatened by passengers demonstrating unruly or disruptive behaviour. At least 70% of these incidents involve some form of aggression. At least once a month the situation escalates to such a degree forcing the plane to perform an emergency landing. * These figures are worrying as they demonstrate an increasing trend. What is particularly disturbing is that these incidents have a direct impact on both the safety of crew and passengers. Any kind of unruly or disruptive behaviour whether related to intoxication, aggression or other factors introduces an unnecessary risk to the normal operation of a flight. To reach out to airlines and passengers, EASA has joined forces with IATA to promote a new campaign, "Not On My Flight". The campaign draws attention to examples of unruly behaviour, and the consequences that passengers face. "We are happy to team up with IATA on tackling an issue that directly affects the safety of passengers and crew. Flying should be an enjoyable and safe experience," said Patrick Ky, Executive Director of EASA referring to the launch of the initiative. "Unruly passengers are a small minority but their actions can have a disproportionate impact on others. Passengers and crew have a right to a safe flight free from disturbance and harassment. The rise in serious unruly passenger behaviour is a great concern to airlines. IATA members unanimously passed a resolution at our 2014 Annual General Meeting setting out our priorities for tackling unruly incidents, which included working with stakeholders to raise awareness of the importance of this issue. We are pleased to support EASA's "not on my flight" campaign, which we hope will focus minds on what is acceptable conduct on board, and the consequences for passengers if they fail to adhere to safety regulations," said Rafael Schvartzman, IATA's Regional Vice President for Europe. Together we show zero tolerance against unruly behaviour.

EASA paves the way to enable safe air travel of urban air mobility and air taxi aircraft

Forwarded message - From: EASA <

Like Tweet Forward Cologne, October 15, 2018   EASA paves the way to enable safe air travel of urban air mobility and air taxi aircraft On 15th October, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) opened a public consultation on its proposal of airworthiness standards which will enable the certification of small vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. This is to develop the first component of the regulatory framework to enable the safe operation of air taxi and electric VTOL (eVTOL) aircraft in Europe. EASA is committed to ensure the highest level of safety standards for operations over cities and the commercial transport of passengers while also providing lighter standards to promote innovation for the initial phases of development and other types of operation such as leisure flights. The certification objectives will therefore depend on the type of operation, providing flexibility and proportionally. The new standards will apply to person-carrying VTOL aircraft. In its initial version, the requirement will be limited to aircraft with a passenger seating configuration of 5 or less and a maximum certified take-off mass of 2 000 kg or less. The Agency is engaging with its international partners in order to work together towards achieving common standards. The proposal is open for comments until 15th November.
