China air and rail regulators issue blacklist of banned travellers
China issued its first comprehensive passenger blacklists of misbehaving travellers for air and rail travel.
Seeking to act as a deterrent, the Civil Aviation Administration of China published a list of 86 violators who are now banned from flying for one year.
Most were guilty of carrying banned or dangerous items, which included replica firearms, knives, and bullets.
Fifteen violators were caught using fake IDs, three were smoking during a flight and two each were found to be disruptive either on a flight or during airport security checks.
All had been previously punished for their actions which can mean several days of detention and heavy fines.
The Railway Customer Service Center of China also published its first rogues gallery of violators with 31 people now banned from train travel for six months.
Most of these were found smoking on trains while several had been charged by police for reselling tickets.
China’s National Tourism Administration had previously named and shamed travellers causing disruption at tourist sites at home and abroad but this is the first time a comprehensive list of air and rail offenders has been published by the government.
