The Supreme Court has urged for creative measures to address the issue of unruly behavior by air passengers, referencing incidents such as the Air India urination case. The apex court emphasized the need for airlines and regulators to establish stricter guidelines and enforce penalties for disruptive conduct. This comes after a series of incidents where passenger behavior endangered flight safety and violated the dignity of co-passengers. The court highlighted international practices, such as maintaining "no-fly lists," and encouraged Indian authorities to adopt similar measures. The case underscores the growing need for regulatory interventions to ensure passenger safety and maintain the decorum of air travel. The judgment aims to strike a balance between passenger rights and accountability for misconduct.
