“Disruptive plane passengers could find themselves banned from flying by all airlines under a new UK government proposal. It is understood that a scheme for carriers to share information on unruly travellers is being developed by officials at the Department for Transport and the Home Office. The proposal, which is still at the concept stage, could lead to airlines being required to notify the government of a disruptive passenger. A participating airline could then be alerted when the same marked person checked in for a subsequent flight. It would then be up to that airline to determine how to respond, but they would have the option of refusing to carry them.” [editor’s note: Sounds like the kind of thing that could easily be done with zero government involvement … and therefore SHOULD be done that way if it’s done at all – TLK] (06/01/26)
