The government said Friday that it will strengthen punishments for people causing violence or a disturbance during a flight, following a recent in-flight incident.
Under revised airline safety regulations, a passenger resorting to violence during the flight will be sentenced to up to three years in prison, officials said.
The revision was discussed during a government meeting presided over by Acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn.
