This podcast from Transport Security International Magazine argues that the aviation industry must adopt transparent and consistent messaging to avoid a surge in unruly passenger incidents following the coronavirus pandemic. The author, Philip Baum, draws a parallel between the public outrage caused by Dominic Cummings’s breach of lockdown regulations and the potential backlash passengers could experience if they perceive inconsistencies between safety measures and the industry’s messaging. He suggests that honesty regarding risks and a zero-tolerance approach to rule-breaking are essential to rebuilding trust and ensuring a smooth return to air travel.
