ATLANTA (LifeSiteNews) — Despite waning COVID-19 numbers and increasing evidence of the inefficacy of cloth masks, one major airline is doubling down on its mask enforcement, asking U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to create a national “no-fly list” to bar “unruly” passengers who refuse to wear masks from flying with any commercial airline.
Delta Air Lines formally asked the federal government to create a “no-fly list” of individuals who have been convicted of engaging in “unruly behavior” while on board flights in a letter addressed to Garland last week.
“This action will help prevent future incidents and serve as a strong symbol of the consequences of not complying with crew member instructions on commercial aircraft,” wrote Delta Air Lines CEO Edward Bastian, adding that his company “fully support[s] using the full force of the law in these cases.”
“Delta, along with our industry partners at Airlines for America, has been advocating since last year for heightened reporting, investigation and prosecution of those who interfere with on-board safety,” Bastian said.
