One passenger was notified of a fine of $24,000 (approximately 28.3 million won) for refusing to wear a mask and using physical force, such as pushing a flight attendant's chest while getting off the plane.
According to the FAA, there have been 5,114 in-flight disturbances so far this year, of which 3,710 were related to refusal to wear a mask.
The FAA announced the 'zero tolerance principle' in January after a surge in in-flight disturbances caused by the mandatory wearing of masks, and passengers who threaten or attack flight attendants or other passengers can be fined up to 37,000 dollars (about 43.6 million won) or sentenced to imprisonment. The punishment has been strengthened so that it can be imposed.
Since then, the number of cabin disturbances has decreased significantly, but the frequency is still high at about 5.6 per 10,000 flights, the FAA said.
