Air India goes on safety overdrive, places 71 passengers in no-fly list in 2023

In 2023, Air India and Vistara placed 93 passengers on their no-fly lists due to unruly behavior, accounting for over 90% of all cases in India. These actions were taken in response to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation's rules on handling unruly passengers, which were implemented after an incident involving a Shiv Sena MP in 2017. Previously, Air India had not banned any passengers under these rules. However, the airline has since taken a more proactive approach following a controversial incident on a New York-Delhi flight. Akasa Air and IndiGo also added passengers to their no-fly lists. Aviation experts emphasize the need for airlines to address these issues seriously and passengers' rights should be balanced with due process.
