In-flight violence on rise, 63 passengers placed on 'no fly list' in 2022: Govt tells Lok Sabha

New Delhi: The Ministry of Civil Aviation on Friday informed Lok Sabha that as many as 63 passengers have been placed on "no fly list" during the year 2022.

The reply was in response to a written question about the cause of an increase in incidents of violence and breach of decorum on the flights in the country.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation responded saying, “A total of 63 passengers have been placed on "no fly list" during the year 2022 for the period as recommended by the airline's internal committee, constituted in accordance with Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR), Section 3- Air Transport, Series M, and Part VI titled "Handling of unruly / disruptive passengers.”

The majority of the passengers placed on "no fly list" were for violations related to not wearing masks or not obeying the instructions of the crew members, said the ministry in its response.
