MoS civil aviation Murlidhar Mohol said 63 passengers were put on the list in 2022, 110 in 2023 and 82 in 2024.

NEW DELHI: A total of 255 passengers were placed on the no-fly list over the last three years due to complaints of misbehaviour, quarrels and manhandling of crew members, minister of state for civil aviation Murlidhar Mohol said on Monday.

In a written response to BJP MPs, Iranna Kadadi and Medha Vishram Kulkarni, Mohol said 63 passengers were put on the list in 2022, 110 in 2023 and 82 in 2024.

The reasons for the ban, he said, included a range of disruptive behaviours such as verbal arguments, physical altercations, manhandling of crew members, and general misconduct, which have all contributed to the growing figures.
