The civil aviation ministry on Monday said three passengers have been put on the 'No Fly List' this year while a total of 63 passengers were placed on the list in 2022.
A total of 143 passengers have been put on the list since 2017, according to data provided by the ministry to the Rajya Sabha.

In 2022, IndiGo placed 46 individuals on the No Fly List while Vistara had put 16 passengers on the list. SpiceJet had put 1 passenger on the list, the data showed.
According to the data, in 2021, a total of 45 individuals were put on the list by IndiGo, 19 by Vistara and 2 by AirAsia.
IndiGo had put 10 people on the list in 2020 and the now defunct Jet Airways had placed one passenger on the No Fly List in 2017.
In another written reply, the minister said that a total of 63 passengers have been placed on the list last year.
"These include two incidents of urinating that have come to the notice of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in last year.
