Delta has already maintained its own no-fly list and wants to have collaboration between all airlines on a national list.
passengers convicted of on-board disruption for "unruly" behavior on a national "no-fly" list.
In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland obtained by FOX Business, Delta CEO Edward Bastian appealed to federal authorities to help the tense situation as consumers "reclaim" the skies following prolonged restrictions during the pandemic. Edward Bastian, chief executive officer of Delta Air Lines Inc., listens during an interview in New York, U.S., on Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019.
Delta already put nearly 1,900 people on a private "no-fly" list for refusing to comply with masking requirements, with 900 of those people submitted to the TSA for civil penalties. Bastian has asked for the AG to create a master list that would ban anyone convicted of on-board disruption from traveling on any commercial air carrier.
The letter outlined a number of steps the airline has already taken, including a safety risk assessment, expanded de-escalation and self-defense training, and increased security at airports. But Bastian stressed the need for the national "no-fly" list. He claimed that the rate of incidents with unruly passengers on Delta flights has increased nearly 100% since before the pandemic started.
