(Generalization of aircraft use, non-smoking in all seats, increasing of mobile phones use, etc.)
Therefore, acts that are prohibited by law in the cabin are increasing.
To ensure a safe and comfortable flight for passengers on board, the law that prevents acts that are in violation of laws prohibited in the cabin has been in force since January 15, 2004.
