Legal Regulation of Air Passengers' Unruly Behavior in China

The unruly behavior of Chinese air passengers has become increasingly fierce in recent years, which has threatened the safety of air transportation. However, the law enforcement department of airport public security often behaves passively with sluggish and weak punishment to unruly behaviors. The reason for this is that civil aviation safety laws and Public Security Administration Punishments Law have some problem connecting with each other on regulating unruly behavior, which causes the airport public security to enforce the law negatively, because they are afraid of losing in the administrative lawsuit. Therefore, it is necessary to enact relative regulation on the behavior that endangers the aviation safety, in order to enhance the operability of Public Security Administration Punishments Law on regulating unruly behavior. Only in this way can the behaviors jeopardizing the aviation safety be effectively decreased or even completely eradicated.
