What happened: The US transportation secretary has urged for more civility among air travellers as airports prepare for a busy holiday period. However, experts argue that the public service campaign promoting this message may not be effective.
Why it matters:
- Increased passenger volumes could lead to more conflicts and disruptions at airports.
- Air travellers and airport staff are directly affected by behaviour and safety concerns.
MNN Take: With air travel expected to surge, promoting respectful behaviour aims to reduce incidents, though experts suggest more comprehensive measures may be needed to address underlying issues.
