Chinese airlines make blacklist of unruly passengers

Monday, 03 Feb, 2016 0

A group of Chinese airlines have joined forces to share information on the unruly behaviour of air travellers.

The carriers – Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, Hainan Airlines and Spring Air – have established a blacklist to ban passengers from flying on any of their flights.

The China air market is growing rapidly but so are the instances of high profile air rage incidents.

“We have come up with our own list already. It includes names of those who beat up our staff, refuse to get on the plane or block the exit,” said Zhang Wuan, Spring Air’s chief marketing officer.

Names on the ‘uncivilized passenger’ list will be shared among the airlines and tourism authorities and offenders will face restrictions on travel.

“Tourists’ virtue not only reflects their personal decency, moreover it reflects the nation’s image and its societal progress. Certain tourists’ frequent uncivilized behaviours at domestic and foreign airports as well on aircraft not only harms the images of themselves and the nation – even more, they jeopardized aviation safety,” China’s National Tourism Administration said.

The CNTA last year set up its own blacklist of badly behaved tourists after several incidents involving scuffles with airline crew, bomb threat jokes and damage to historic monuments overseas.
