Air travel is readily available today and people can easily book their tickets and set off.

No-Fly List
In addition to detailed “No-fly list” requirements, the government established measures in 2017 to stop disruptive passenger behavior on flights. When a passenger’s actions are perceived by the airline as being disruptive, the pilot in charge complains. It will be taken care of by the internal panel.
While the inquiry is ongoing, the airline has the right to suspend the passenger for up to 30 days. The committee makes a decision in 30 days. It specifies the length of time the flyer will be unable to go. If the panel cannot come to a decision within the given time, the passenger is free to board the flight.
Passengers who in any way interfere with the regulation’s operations are put on the list, according to Indian Airlines. (As per News Day Express)
