The British government proposes the creation of a national blacklist for abusive passengers, allowing airlines to share information about disruptive behaviors. This measure comes in the context of increasing problematic behavior, especially during the busy summer season. Although passengers banned by one airline can book flights with another, the government emphasizes that antisocial behavior on flights is unacceptable and threatens the safety of all. Meetings between officials from the Department for Transport and airlines are planned to discuss the implementation of the proposal, which would not require legislative changes but should comply with GDPR regulations regarding data protection. Airlines have already enthusiastically embraced this idea, considering it an important step to prevent the majority of passengers from being disturbed by a minority. Recent examples of abusive behavior include a passenger banned for 10 months after causing an emergency situation on a Ryanair flight and a lifetime ban for two passengers involved in a fight on a Jet2 flight.
