[Unruly passengers - resistance to requests by flight attendants].
Travelling by airplane is of increasing importance in modern society. Psychiatric disorders seldom cause incidents in aircrafts. Scandal sheets and serious newspapers as well report on disturbances of a flight by psychiatric patients. Up until now psychiatric research is not engaging in unruly flight passengers suffering from psychotic symptoms. We describe a passenger who became psychotic during an international flight. In addition, we provide an overview over publications dealing with unruly passengers due to psychosis and describe similar cases.
