Remember we told you about the need to carry id proof to even book airline tickets? It was created as one of the regulations while building India’s no-fly list. Well, the list is finally here. From losing your cool to abusing airline staff, here’s a look at all things that could get you barred from flying for 3 months to even 2 years! There are three levels of offence to get on India’s no-fly list:

Level 1: Includes unruly gestures, unruly drinking and verbal harassment. This invites a ban of up to 3 months.

Level 2: Engaging in physically abusive behaviour like kicking, pushing, hitting and inappropriate touching. This incites a ban of up to 6 months.

Level 3: Involves life threatening behaviour like assaults, damage to aircraft systems, etc. This attracts a minium ban of 2 years.

The decision to ban will be taken by an independent committee under a retired District Judge within 30 days of the offence. The no-fly list promises no VIP treatment. The Aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju clarifies – Every passenger, no exception.
