63 Passengers Placed on ‘No Fly List’ in last one year: Min in Lok Sabha

New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has put 63 on the ‘no-fly list’ in the past year. This was informed by the central government in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.

“A total of 63 passengers have been placed on “No Fly List” for the last one year, as recommended by the airline’s internal committee. These include two incidents of urinating that have come to the notice of DGCA in the last one year,” said the minister of state of civil aviation, Gen (Retd) VK Singh in a written reply in Lok Sabha.

Interestingly, most of the passengers placed in “No Fly List” violated the directive related wearing masks or not obeying the instructions of the crew members, the minister added.

But there were also some shocking incidents like the urination incident that took place on Air India flight AI102, operating between New York and New Delhi, on November 26, 2022, where a passenger relieved himself on a fellow woman passenger in an inebriated condition.
