Delta wants airlines to work together to keep unruly passengers off their planes.
The airline has banned more than 1,600 people for unruly behavior since the pandemic began, and is calling on other airlines to share their ‘no fly’ lists.
A Delta official said “a list of banned customers doesn’t work as well if that customer can fly with another airline“.
The FAA has reported more than 4,300 incidents of unruly behavior by passengers – many of which involve disputes over facemasks.
Have you witnessed any bad behavior on a plane? How long should these people remain on a ‘no fly’ list?
