And that passengers often bullies?

Last year, police in Moscow alone removed and not allowed More than 600 aviadeboshirov removed and not allowed to fly to Moscow in 2017 flight 634. 19 persons prosecuted, 611 - administrative.

The most common violation - being in airports while intoxicated and disorderly conduct. It also happens that because of the planes made aviadeboshira

Flying to Moscow plane landed in Volgograd due aviadeboshira forced landings.

Who decides and how that person will be entered in the black list?

The fact that the passenger has committed an offense on board the aircraft, according to the commander of the aircraft. He is writing inform the head of the company's carrier.

A copy of this document should give aviadeboshiru before he will come down from the plane.

All of this will need to be documented.

Blacklist will apply to all flights?

While a single black list of passengers to create not planned: each airline will have a "stop list". But it is possible that carriers will share them.

In other countries, there is something similar?

Black lists exist in many countries in Europe and Asia as well as in the United States. In addition, aviadeboshiram threatened heavy fines and prison Finally.

The South Korean airline Korean Air has gone further by allowing its flight attendants use to pacify aggressive passengers stun. However, this does not always work. At the end of 2016 the famous musician Richard Marx flying to Seoul, helped defuse aviadeboshira. Flight attendants do not really know how to use the stun.

What do they say about black lists on the Net?

In general, actively support and even offer to improve innovation.
