    Additional training for flight and gate attendants pushed

    A lawmaker wants to enhance the training of flight attendants and gate attendants
    by requiring air carriers to provide additional training for them regarding serving alcohol,
    recognizing intoxicated passengers and dealing with disruptive ones.

    Rep. Diosdado Arroyo (2nd District, Camarines Sur) filed House Bill 3601 to curb
    incidents of intoxicated and disruptive airline passengers causing unnecessary commotions
    and delays of an aircraft.

    Arroyo said such incidents in an aircraft are not infrequent but existing airline
    regulations have failed to curb these occurrences.

    In filing the bill co-authored by Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (2nd District,


    Pampanga), Arroyo noted the constitutional mandate of the State to consider the safety,
    quality and reliability of air transport services as vital components of enhancing air
    commerce in the Philippines.

    “Airlines must remain steadfast in preventing disruptive situations involving


    passengers from ensuing,” Arroyo said.

    Arroyo said air carriers must intensify the training of flight attendants and gate
    attendants in the handling of alcohol, recognizing intoxicated passengers and dealing with
    disruptive ones that may put in jeopardy the safety of a perfectly normal flight.

    Under the measure to be known as the “Airline Personnel Training Enhancement


    Act,” each air carrier, in addition to other training required, shall provide initial and annual
    recurring training for flight attendants and gate attendants employed or contracted by such
    air carrier regarding serving alcohol to passengers, recognizing intoxicated passengers and
    dealing with disruptive passengers.

    In carrying out the training required, each air carrier shall provide situational
    training to flight attendants and gate attendants on the proper method of dealing with
    intoxicated passengers who act in a belligerent manner.

    The bill directs the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) to


    include in the Department’s program the implementation of this act and the funding of
    which shall be included in the annual General Appropriations Act. (30) lvc
