(AP) \u2014 Delta Air Lines has requested that the U.S. Department of Justice put any person convicted of a disruption on board a flight to the national \u201cno fly\u201d list.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In a letter to the Justice Department Attorney General Merrick Garland dated Thursday, Delta CEO Ed Bastian said there should be \u201czero tolerance\u201d for any behavior that affects flight safety.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bastian noted that while such incidents of bad behavior represent a small fraction of overall flights on Delta, the rate of incidents on the airline has increased nearly 100 percent since 2019.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThis action will help prevent future incidents and serve as a strong symbol of the consequences of not complying with crew member instructions on commercial aircraft,\u201d Bastian wrote in the letter furnished to The Associated Press by Delta Air Lines.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Delta has, along with its industry partner Airlines for America, been pushing since last year for heightened reporting, investigation and prosecution of those who interfere with on-board safety.<\/p>\n

The airlines, based in Atlanta, said it has put nearly 1,900 people on Delta\u2019s \u201cno-fly\u201d list for refusing to comply with masking requirements and submitted more than 900 banned names to the Transportation Security Administration to pursue civil penalties.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

A spokesperson with TSA, which enforces the FBI \u201cno fly\u201d list of potential terrorist threats, referred a reporter to the FBI since that agency maintains the database. Neither the FBI or the Justice Department could be immediately reached for comment. The Federal Aviation Administration cited 4.9 reported unruly incidents per 10,000 flights the week ending Jan. 23, according to its website.<\/p>\n

In December, the TSA announced a new partnership with the FAA that would call for unruly airline passengers facing additional consequences for bad behavior under a new partnership. Under the alliance, the FAA will share information of passengers facing fines
\nfor unruly behavior with the TSA, which may remove the passenger from its pre-check screening eligibility, a privilege reserved for low-risk travelers.<\/p>
