Air traveler blacklisting plan on way

China's civil aviation authority is to introduce measures to blacklist passengers who become unruly when traveling on planes, in a bid to strengthen air safety.

A system for blacklisting reckless and anti-social passengers who disobey aviation safety rules should be standardized soon and carried out in cooperation with airlines, travel agencies and airports, according to a regulation issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

But the Civil Aviation Management Institute of China has called for the punishment and blacklisting duration to be discussed first among aviation authorities, airline representatives, passengers and legal experts.
