Corrects name in second paragraph from Ed Bastian to Merrick Garland
Feb 4 (Reuters) – Delta Air Lines DAL.N wants the U.S. government to place passengers convicted of on-board disruptions on a national comprehensive unruly passenger “no-fly” list that would bar them from future travel on any commercial airline, according to a letter seen by Reuters.
Delta Chief Executive Ed Bastian in a previously unreported letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said the action “will help prevent future incidents and serve as a strong symbol of the consequences of not complying with crew member instructions on commercial aircraft.”
The request comes amid a record spike in disruptive passengers reported over the last 13 months. The Justice Department did not immediately comment.
