UK weighs nationwide flight ban for disruptive airline passengers

The UK government is considering a proposal that could prevent disruptive airline passengers from flying with any carrier in the country. Under the plan, airlines would be allowed to share information about abusive travellers through a national database, making it harder for passengers banned by one airline to book flights with another.

Officials from the UK Department for Transport are expected to meet airlines this month to discuss how the system could operate. According to a report by BBC, the proposal comes as airlines continue to report cases of rowdy, aggressive and alcohol-related behaviour, particularly during the busy summer travel season.
