Threatening Customers eLearning course

Incidents involving unruly passengers are an ongoing concern for airlines and authorities. They are happening in all parts of the world and in all travel classes.


Here's one example from the United States where the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received over 3,500 reports of unruly behavior by passengers and proposed penalties of more than one million USD.


In order to increase awareness about unruly passenger behavior the FAA launched a Zero Tolerance public awareness campaign including training material to engage with airline passengers, flight attendants, pilots and travelers.


We at Airport College International, want to be involved in promoting the Zero Tolerance campaign and offer our clients an online eLearning course with 24/7 access.
