The foreign City X flights are a big problem with the issue of a large number of the passengers refusing to wear their mask from after boarding and throughout the entire duration of the flight. The flight attendants are nonstop in the processes of enforcing the mask requirement and a constant barrage of calls to the cockpit; in addition they are being verbally abused and disrespected by the non-compliant passengers . Company needs to find a way to strongly inform the passengers of the requirement and the seriousness of the lack of respect to the crew and fellow passengers. This is becoming such a problem that I as Captain of the aircraft am going to be forced to land the aircraft at the nearest suitable airport along our route and deplane the instigators.
Air carrier Captain reported many passengers refuse to wear face masks during flights to a specific international destination.
