Airports are always busy places, and for many, travel is a stressful experience. Easter proved particularly taxing, with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) called out to 217 incidents across the nine airports at which it is the lead law enforcement agency—Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra, Darwin, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
The incidents included allegedly drunk and disruptive passengers, possession of prohibited items and illicit drugs, and breaches of airport security protocols.
