India's first no-fly rules are out: 3 months to life-time ban for unruly passengers

India proposes ban between two months and life-time ban for unruly passengers in domestic flights in the country.

"We have categorised unruly passengers under three levels and the quantum of flying ban will range between three months and two years and beyond, which would also include a life-time ban," said aviation secretary R N Choubey.

The no-fly list, announced by the aviation ministry today, also provides an appeal provision for passengers.

According to the proposed norm, every airline will have to form a three-member standing committee to look into the complaint filed by the crew and a decision on the ban should be taken within ten days of the filing of the complaint.

The proposal, however, does not propose a blanket ban by all airlines on a passenger.
