Not wearing a mask can put flyers on no-fly list, says DGCA

Refusal to wear a face mask on board a flight could put a passenger on the no-fly list. The period would depend on the assessment as reported by the cabin crew. So far, no such case has been reported.

There will be exceptions such as if a passenger takes off the mask to eat or drink or any other issue. Passengers, who refuse to wear masks willingly, putting others in danger, will invite strict actions.
