Jet2 calls for national database of disruptive passengers

Monday, 14 Jul, 2015 0

Jet2.com has called for airlines to share a national database of disruptive passengers after it gave three travellers a lifetime ban.

The airline said it helped Manchester police arrest a local criminal who was in breach of his bail conditions and who was part of a group travelling on its flight from the Algarve to Manchester.

Two brothers in the same party were also issued with a public offence order and fined for stealing from the in-flight bar and intimidating staff.

Jet2.com called for airlines to tackle the growing problem together with a national shared database of those passengers that have been banned for disruptive behaviour.

Phil Ward, managing director of Jet2.com said:  "The majority of our customers are decent families looking forward to their holiday.  They should not have to put up with such unnecessary disruption.

"We are already seeing both the industry and the public respond overwhelming in support of our efforts to eradicate offensive behaviour through our Onboard Together programme.  It’s also very encouraging to see that our initiative is helping the authorities capture people trying to evade the law."
