The Ministry of Transport proposed to issue flight attendants with special means of restraining airbags, plastic handcuffs and nylon belts, the department that developed the relevant bill reported. The document is published on the website of draft regulatory legal acts.
It clarifies that the access of outsiders to such means of deterrence should be excluded.
At the same time, flight attendants must keep the violator, against whom the above-mentioned means of restraint have been applied, under constant supervision and not place such people on seats at the aisle or exit. After the end of the flight, the crew members and employees of the aviation security service must hand over the violator to law enforcement officers.
Before adoption, the draft resolution will undergo all the procedures required by law, including discussion with the public, participants in the air transportation market, expert organizations and involved executive authorities.
Earlier today it was reported that a rowdy flight attendant was detained in Novokuznetsk. The passenger refused to wear a protective mask.
Last week, a violent passenger flying from Dubai was locked in the toilet of the plane. The incident occurred on a flight of “Ural Airlines”.
