Air travel is often hailed as a symbol of progress and connectivity. It transcends borders and brings the world closer together. However, recent reports have shed light on a troubling issue within the aviation industry – the prevalence of sexual harassment incidents on flights. These incidents range from inappropriate comments and gestures to physical harassment.
