IndiGo has begun the process of placing a passenger on the no-fly list after the individual assaulted a pilot following a flight delay in Delhi. The airline has labeled the passenger as "unruly" and will follow Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) guidelines for handling such incidents. The CAR outlines procedures for dealing with disruptive passenger behavior, including categorizing offenses into three levels and imposing bans on flying. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has urged airlines to proactively report such incidents and has emphasized the importance of following norms and sensitizing airline personnel to prevent unruly behavior.
