Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says a 'no-fly list' should be considered for unruly [View all]

passengers after a flight attendant was assaulted

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said Sunday that adding unruly passengers to a "no-fly list" should be an option after the latest incident involving the assault of a flight attendant.

The Federal Aviation Administration has investigated more than 900 unruly passenger incidents in 2021, up from 146 in 2019. Last week, an American Airlines flight attendant had multiple broken bones in her face after being attacked by a passenger.

On CNN's State of the Union, Dana Bash asked Buttigieg if there should be a "federal no-fly list for people who behave like this."

"I think that should be on the table," Buttigieg said. "It is completely unacceptable to mistreat, abuse, or even disrespect flight crews."
