New Delhi: If you are going to do air travel in the coming days, then you have to take special care. If the passengers are negligent in this, then the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) can also take strict action against them. In fact, the DGCA has become tight-lipped about the increasing cases of the Corona epidemic in the country. If passengers do not wear masks in the aircraft and at the same time violate the guidelines of the coronavirus epidemic, then strict action will be taken against them. If passengers repeat this mistake again and again, their air travel can be banned forever.
In the circular issued by DCGA, it has been said that after entering the airport, it will be mandatory to wear masks till the time of departure. The circular also states that passengers who do not follow the rules of social distancing and corona guidelines during air travel will be taken off the plane. With this, those who are found to be repeatedly violating the rules during their journey, will be declared as ‘unruly travelers’.
Know what is in the DGCA circular
- Wearing masks during air travel, following social distancing will be mandatory.
- Masks cannot be lowered under the nose unless there are no exception conditions.
- During the entry of the passenger into the airport, the CISF or other police personnel will ensure that no one can get inside the mask.
- The airport director/terminal manager will ensure that they are always properly masked in the passenger. Along with this, travelers follow social distancing in the right way.
- If a passenger does not follow the corona rules on the airport premises or plane, then he will be warned and left. However, the circular states that according to the law, action can be taken.
- Before the departure, any passenger sitting on the plane will not be removed if he does not wear the mask properly even after the warning.
- During the flight, if he repeatedly refuses to wear the mask and Covid does not follow the protocols, he should be treated as a ‘nuisance traveler’.
- Air travel of people coming in the list of unruly passengers will be banned. According to the new rules, this ban can be for 6 months, 1 year or even 2 years.
