A new government proposal could see passengers who cause disruption on flights banned from travelling with any airline. Officials from the Department for Transport and the Home Office are reportedly developing a scheme to facilitate information sharing among carriers regarding unruly individuals.
Currently in its conceptual phase, the initiative would potentially require airlines to inform the government about disruptive passengers. This information could then be used to alert participating airlines if the same individual attempts to check in for a subsequent flight. While the final decision on whether to refuse carriage would rest with the individual airline, they would be empowered to deny boarding.
