Alliance Air deboards four for not following Covid-appropriate behaviour

The circular stated that people on board found not following Covid-appropriate behaviour or not wearing masks despite repeated warnings would be treated as "unruly" passengers and action will be taken

India's No Fly List rules, unveiled in 2017, have a provision for banning unruly passengers from a minimum three months to a maximum of two years depending on the severity of the incident.

Air India's regional arm Alliance Air has become one of the first airlines in India to put passengers on the No Fly List for not wearing masks on board.

The development comes after aviation regulator DGCA issued a direction on Sunday saying that passengers who do not wear masks properly even after repeated warnings could be deboarded before departure.

The circular stated that people on board found not following Covid-appropriate behaviour or not wearing masks despite repeated warnings would be treated as “unruly” passengers and action would be taken against them by the concerned airline.
