Right now, if an airline bans a passenger, it can rebook them on another flight. But this new proposal would put them in a national database, preventing them from flying within the United Kingdom. The airline and the government would oversee the list.

“While banning passengers is a good idea, this mechanism has serious due process issues--a private company should not get to determine whether someone should suffer such a drastic consequence unilaterally. So, addition to a list like this should be based on a criminal conviction, not the word of a company about 'disruptiveness.'"
“I have been saying this for years, people need to be put on no-fly lists if they cannot behave in airports or on flights.”
