Delta CEO Asks Merrick Garland To Create A Federal No-Fly List:
gettyvery airline keeps its own list of passengers non gratae for those whose behavior was so egregious that they are no longer welcome to fly with that carrier. Traditionally, airlines have always kept their no-fly lists for internal use only, meaning that a passenger who was banned on, say, United Airlines, could simply book their future travels on Delta, American, JetBlue or Southwest. But that may soon change.
The request comes amid thousands of unruly passenger incidents during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Federal Aviation Administration received a record 5,981 reports of unruly passengers in 2021, about three-quarters of which involved travelers who refused to comply with a federal mask mandate on board. Delta has been pushing for a federal no-fly list for months now. Last September, Kristen Manion Taylor, Delta’s senior vice president of in-flight service, wrote in a memo to flight attendants that the airline was asking other airlines to share their ‘no fly’ lists because “a list of banned customers doesn’t work as well if that customer can fly with another airline.”
