Summary

The purpose of the law is to join the amendments to the 2014 Montreal Protocol, which amends the convention signed in Tokyo in 1963. Joining the protocol will allow Estonia to improve the implementation of the convention in the future. Today, it is difficult, for example, to start a procedure against a passenger who violates the rules in a situation where the country that registered the aircraft is, for example, Latvia, but the flight started from Spain, and the aircraft also violated the rules with the passenger lands in Tallinn. This is because restrictions regarding the nationality of the aircraft apply. According to the statistics of the International Air Transport Association, 60% of such cases remain unprocessed. While the number of reported incidents of disruptive and disruptive passengers on board aircraft has increased. Therefore, it is important to ensure a legal framework and the possibility of prosecuting disobedient passengers. By joining the protocol, Estonia supports the understanding that the staff must have the right to deal with the passenger who committed the act on board the aircraft during the flight and, depending on the situation, hand the passenger over to the authorities of the destination country for further processing.
