New rules to book domestic flight tickets

The Centre will issue the final rules for "no fly list" (NFL) on Friday. Once implemented, one will need to give number of any of the following IDs — Aadhaar, driving licence, passport or Pan number — while booking a domestic ticket.

Election Commission voter ID card might also be acceptable but a final call on this is yet to be taken.For international travel, passport number is anyway mandatory."India is pioneering in having a no fly list on the basis of safety as other countries have it on security grounds. A DGCA team (led by chief BS Bhullar) recently had discussions with global regulators at a meet in Mongolia. 

We had received comments on the draft NFL and after much deliberations, the final rules will be issued on Friday," Union minister of state for aviation Jayant Sinha said.
