4 passengers handed over to security agencies for not wearing masks properly on Alliance Air flight

Four passengers were handed over to the security agencies on Tuesday for not wearing masks properly onboard Alliance Air’s Jammu-Delhi flight despite repeated warnings by the cabin crew, said senior government officials on Wednesday. Aviation regulator DGCA had on Saturday asked airlines to de-board passengers who do not wear their masks “properly” despite repeated warnings.

As per the powers given by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation’s regulations, Alliance Air can classify the aforementioned four passengers as “unruly” and ban them from its flights for any period between three to 24 months, the government officials mentioned.
