Misbehaving on a flight could ground you anywhere from three months to a lifetime. The aviation ministry issued India’s first ever “no fly list” which comes into effect with immediate effect. However, it comes with checks and balances to ensure that airlines do not have a free run in labelling anyone an unruly passenger and then ground him or her. The list has three levels for disruptive behaviour with different grounding periods. The ban will be doubled in case of repeat offences. Apart from Indian carriers, even foreign carriers can make use of the new provisions.

Pilots’ body threatened stir against DGCA official if the regulator acts against any pilot. Indian Commercial Pilots’ Association (ICPA), union of the erstwhile Indian Airlines’ pilots, threatened to launch protest after the DGCA threatened to ground 132 pilots and 430 cabin crew members of Air India for skipping alcohol test. The ICPA says Air India or its crew members are not at fault as the violation happened due to lack of clarity on rules. “This is a clear case of vindication (sic) by (DGCA official),” an ICPA letter issued by its general secretary Captain T Praveen Keerthi said.
