UK Civil Aviation Authority figures show there were 386 dangerous air rage incidents in 2015, up from 85 in 2013.
They included examples of passengers fighting each other and one attempting to open a plane door mid-flight.
In a high-profile incident in February, a groom-to-be and five friends travelling to a stag do in Bratislava were thrown off a Ryanair flight that was forced to divert to Berlin.
They were accused of compromising safety with their behaviour.
It was reported that they became aggressive when they were refused alcohol - and that one of them undressed.
