(Reuters) – Delta Air Lines (NYSE) is asking the U.S. to put passengers convicted for onboard disruptions on a “no fly” national comprehensive list. This would prevent them from flying on commercial airlines in future, according to a letter Reuters received.

In a letter addressed to U.S. Attorney general Merrick Garland, Delta chief executive Ed Bastian stated that the actions would help “prevent future incidents” and be “a strong symbol for the penalties of failing to follow crewmember instructions when flying commercially.

This request is made amid an unprecedented rise in disruption passengers over the past 13 months. The Justice Department didn’t immediately respond.
