Abuse Doesn't Fly campaign

Early day motion 639, tabled 15 July 2026 by Peter Lamb (Labour). Signed by 15 members.

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.
