The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Monday that airlines have referred approximately 1,300 unruly-passenger reports since February and the agency has identified potential violations in about 260 cases.

In March, FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said he would indefinitely extend a “zero tolerance policy” on unruly air passengers first imposed in January, and said that airlines had reported hundrends of cases since December — most of which involved passengers not wearing masks as required on airplanes.

The FAA has initiated about 20 enforcement cases and is preparing a number of additional enforcement actions, the agency said Monday.

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on Friday extended a federal mandate on wearing face masks onboard airplanes and in airports and in other transit modes through Sept 13 that had been set to expire May 11. Dickson said in March the zero tolerance policy would last until at least as long as the federal transit mask requirements.
