The idea of creating “black lists” of air passengers is being considered by deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Despite the fact that such a decision could run counter to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which gives a person the right to freedom of movement, the need to tighten the rules of air transportation is already ripe. Indeed, in recent times, cases have become more frequent when passengers behave extremely inadequately during the flight.
Flights of Yamal, Aeroflot and Transaero were embroiled in scandals. Passengers flying on them claimed that the crew behaved unprofessionally and rudely with them, violating their rights. However, in a more detailed examination of the complaints, it turned out that these applicants behaved inappropriately - they threatened crew members, rowdy, scandalized and even fought. Due to the fact that cases of inappropriate behavior of passengers on airplanes appear more and more often, and they began to develop a bill on the introduction of "black lists". This list should include the data of those people who over the past 5 years have distinguished themselves by their inappropriate behavior on the plane.
It is planned to create an electronic database in which names and passport data of brawlers will be entered. It will be distributed in single ticket sales centers and in computer networks of all Russian airlines. When selling tickets, cashiers will have to check with this database all who wish to purchase a travel document and refuse to those who appear in it.
The principle of purchasing electronic tickets should also be carried out while checking the passenger's last name and his data on this database. This is the only way to avoid getting on board an inadequate person who, by his actions, violates the order and interferes not only with staff, but also with other passengers.
To replenish these lists will be quite simple. As soon as this or that passenger violates the order on board the air liner, according to information transmitted by the crew — the ship’s commander or stewards — he will be entered into the black database and his name will automatically appear in the cashier’s lists.
A draft idea is being developed, while parliamentarians are considering how to implement it painlessly and without mass appeals to the courts. In addition, it should be possible to exclude from the "black list" those passengers who have realized their guilt and completely corrected.
Such lists are already widely used in other countries, and this, according to experts, has helped to restore order on board aircraft. In addition, the quality of service has thereby improved markedly.
