Abuse Doesn't Fly campaign

That this House welcomes Unite the Union’s safety campaign entitled Abuse Doesn't Fly; notes with concern the widespread abuse, aggression, and physical assaults reported by airport workers across the aviation sector; regrets the severe impact this hostility has on the wellbeing of staff, the travel experience of passengers, and the operation of airports, particularly ahead of peak holiday seasons; and urges airport employers, police authorities, and the Government to support the introduction of a traffic-light banning system for repeat offenders, stronger physical security measures for the protection of staff, and access to counselling services for workers suffering mental health impacts as a consequence of such abuse.
